Answer:

 11.76 %  of the toy robots are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

\(Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}\)

As given

On a factory floor, 20 out of every 170 toy robots is defective.

Part value = 20

Total value = 170

Put in the formula

\(Percentage = \frac{20\times 100}{170}\)

\(Percentage = \frac{2000}{170}\)

Percentage = 11.76 %

Therefore the  11.76 %  of the toy robots are defective.
