Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Factory A proportion:

3 : 2,000

Factory B proportion:

5 : 4,500 (this can be simplified):

1 : 900

Now plug in 18,000 to each proportion:

Factory A:

x : 18,000

3 : 2,000

x = 27

Factory B:

x : 18,000

1 : 900

x = 20

Factory A had the greater amount of defects, 27
