Question

A factory produced a batch of handheld video games, but 4% of the games were found to be defective. If the batch had 250 games in all, how many games in the batch were not defective?

Answer 1

Answer:

240 video games  were not defective in the video game .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Percentage =\frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}$

As given

A factory produced a batch of handheld video games, but 4% of the games were found to be defective.

If the batch had 250 games in all .

Percentage = 4%

Total value = 250

Put all the values in  the formula

$4 =\frac{Part\ value\times 100}{250}$

$Part\ value =\frac{4\times 250}{100}$

$Part\ value =\frac{1000}{100}$

Part value = 10

This means number of video games to be defective in the batch are 10 .

Thus

Number of video games in the batch were not defective= Total number of video games in the batch - Number of defective video games in the batch .

Put all the values in the formula

Number of video games in the batch were not defective= 250 - 10

                                                                                          = 240

Therefore 240 video games  were not defective in the video game .

Answer 2

250 x 96% (good games) = 240
