An assembly line inspector inspected 340 machine parts. 323 of the parts passed inspection. What percent of the machine parts di

tester [92]

Answer:

5% did not pass inspection

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Inspected= 340$

$Passed = 323$

Required

Determine the percentage of parts that didn't pass inspection.

First, we need to calculate the number of those that didn't pass inspection.

$Failed = Inspected - Passed$

$Failed = 340 - 323$

$Failed = 17$

Next, we calculate the percentage as follows:

$\% = \frac{Failed}{Inspected} * 100\%$

The above formula is derived by dividing the number of parts that didn't pass inspection by the total machine inspected, then multiplied by 100%

So:

$\% = \frac{17}{340} * 100\%$

$\% = \frac{17 * 100\%}{340}$

$\% = \frac{1700\%}{340}$

$\% = 5\%$

<em>5% did not pass inspection</em>
