Answer:
Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
To determine the percentage of the production was out of spec, we need to use the percentage formula (x/y × 100).
[tex]\implies \dfrac{x}{y} \times 100[/tex]
The value of "x" is the the number of pieces that were out of spec and the value of "y" is the total pieces in the production results.
[tex]\implies \dfrac{130}{3500} \times 100[/tex]
Simplify the expression to determine the percentage of the pieces that were out of spec.
[tex]\implies \dfrac{13000}{3500}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \dfrac{130}{35} = \dfrac{130 \div 5}{35 \div 5} = \dfrac{26}{7} = 3.714... \%[/tex]
When the percentage is estimated to nearest hundredth, we get 3.71%
(Option B)
Answer:
B) 3.71%
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\textsf{130 out of 3500}\sf =\dfrac{130}{3500}[/tex]
To convert to a percentage, multiply by 100:
[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{130}{3500} \times 100\%=0.03714.. \times 100\%=3.71\%[/tex]
