On a factory floor, 30 out of every 140 toy robots is defective. What percent of you robots are defective? Round to the nearest hundredth.
30 out of 140
that means the equation is 30/140
that equals .2142 . . .
that moves over the 21%
Answer: 21.43 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: On a factory floor, 30 out of every 140 toy robots is defective.
Thus, the total number of robots = 140
The number of defective robots = 30
Now the percent of robots which are defective= \(\frac{\text{defective robots}}{\text{total robots}}\times100\)
\(=\frac{30}{140}\times100\)
\(=21.42857\%\approx21.43\%\)
Hence, the percent of robots which are defective = 21.43 %
