Question

Glass plates are packaged and shipped to a retail store, but 13 percent of all the shipped plates arrive broken. In the last shipment, 117 arrive broken. Which equation can be used to find the total number of plates shipped?
StartFraction 13 times 100 Over 117 times 100 EndFraction = StartFraction 1300 Over 11,700 EndFraction
StartFraction 117 divided by 1 Over 13 divided by 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 117 Over 13 EndFraction
StartFraction 13 times 9 Over 100 times 9 EndFraction = StartFraction 117 Over 900 EndFraction
StartFraction 100 divided by 13 Over 117 divided by 13 EndFraction = StartFraction 7.7 Over 9 EndFraction

Answer 1

The total number of plates shipped is 900 and this can be determined by using the unitary method.

Given :

• Glass plates are packaged and shipped to a retail store, but 13 percent of all the shipped plates arrive broken.
• In the last shipment, 117 arrive broken.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of plates shipped:

Step 1 - Let the total number of plates be 'x'.

Step 2 - According to the given data, the total number of plates broken is 117 and it is 13% of the total plates shipped.

Step 3 - If the 13% plates are broken then the total number of plates shipped are:

$x = \dfrac{100}{13}\times 117$

Step 4 - Simplify the above expression in order to determine the value of 'x'.

x = 900 plates

So, the total number of plates shipped is 900.
