Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To convert \(6\%\) to a decimal, we use the formula \(p = \frac{n}{100}\), where \(n = 6\). So \(6\%=\frac{6}{100}=0.06\)

Step2: Calculate the number of defective toys

Let \(N\) be the number of defective toys. We know that \(N=\text{Total number of toys}\times\text{Defective rate}\). Given the total number of toys is \(550\) and the defective rate \(r = 0.06\). Then \(N=550\times0.06\)
