Question

Of the 2,374 pieces produced by a particular machine, 27 were defective. What

percent were defective? Round to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

Answer 1

1.14%

Step by step explanation

Step one:

The total pieced produces is 2374

total defective is 27

to find the percentage of the defective pieces, we would need to divide the total pieces of the defective by the total number of pieces produced by the machine and multiply the result by 100

Step two

% defecive= (27/2374)*100

% defecive= 0.0113*100

% defecive= 1.137%

To the nearest hundredth of a percent 1.14%
