A quality of control inspector found that 1.3% of 1500 computers inspected were defective. How many computers were defective?

1 answer:

5 0

Okay to find percentages of things you have to take that original value (1500) and multuply it by the percentage. But when you multiply you put the percentage into a decimal and move it over to the right side two decimal places to the left. For example 10.0% would mean you need to multiply by 0.10 okay?

So for this problem you need to do 1500 *.013 and you get 19.5 computers.

The price of a video game was reduced from $60 to $45. By what percentage was the price of the video game reduced?* O 15% O 25%

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The new price, $45, can be expressed as a percentage of $60 by taking it as a fraction of $60, converting to a decimal value, and multiplying by 100%. $45/$60=3/4=0.75, 0.75x100%=75%. So since 100%-75%=25%, the value was reduced by 25%.
