Question

a toy manufacturer estimates that 6% of its products are defective. if it produces 550 toys in one day, how many will be defective?

Answer 1

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find 6% of 550.

We can calculate with a direct rule of 3. If the 100% is 550, how much is the 6%?

$100 -\!\!\!-\!\!\!- 550\\ 6 -\!\!\!-\!\!\!- x$

We use the formula of the direct rule of 3:

$x = \frac {6 * 550}{100} \\ \\ x = \frac {3300}{100}\\ \\ x = 33$

33 toys will be defective.

Answer 2

If a toy manufacturer produces 550 toys in one day, then the number of toys that would be defective is 33 toys.

• Let the defective toys be D.

• Let the total toys be T.

Given the following data:

• Total number of toys produced in a day = 550 toys.

To find the number of toys that would be defective from a production:

$D = \frac{6}{100}$ × $T$

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$D = \frac{6}{100}$ × $550$

$D = 0.06(550)$

Defective toys, D = 33 toys.
