Nine hundred light bulbs are packaged and shipped to a retail store. Thirteen percent of the light bulbs arrive broken. Which equation can be used to find the number of light bulbs that were broken?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]x = 13\% \times 900[/tex] Or   [tex]x = \frac{13}{100}\times 900[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bulbs = 900

Percentage of broken bulbs = 13%

Let x be the number of broken bulbs

Thirteen percent of the light bulbs arrive broken

So, [tex]x = 13\% \times 900[/tex]

Or

[tex]x = \frac{13}{100}\times 900[/tex]

Or

[tex]x =117[/tex]

Hence The equation can be used to find the number of light bulbs that were broken is  [tex]x = 13\% \times 900[/tex] Or   [tex]x = \frac{13}{100}\times 900[/tex].
