A computer chip manufacturer made 270,000 chips last week. If 8% of them were defective, how many defective chips were made?

Number of defective chips = 8% of 270,000

=
(8)/(100) x 270000

= 8 x 2700

= 21,600

Thus, 21,600 defective chips were made.

I hope this answer helps! If you have any doubts, feel free to ask!
