If AB is 15, then BC is 15*9/5=27.  Therefore, we can write the equation 5x+2=27.

We subtract by 2 to find that 5x=25, and divide by 5 to see that x=5.

Gemiola [76]

Answer: 1600batteries

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of inspected battery be y

2.5% of y = 40

5/2% of y = 40

Change 5/2% to fraction

5/200 × y = 40

5y/200=40

Cross multiply

5y= 40×200

5y=8000

y=8000÷5

y=1600

The total number of battery inspected is 1600.
