Answer:
500
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Y represent the number of parts in the shipment.
Number of Defective parts found in the shipment= 15
Percentage (%) of known Defective parts in the shipment = 3%
3% = 3/100
Therefore,
(3 ÷ 100) × Y = 15
We have
3Y ÷ 100 = 15
Cross multiply
3Y = 15 × 100
3Y = 1500
Y = 1500 ÷ 3
Y = 500
Therefore, the number of parts in the shipment is 500.
If 3% out of 100% are defective it would be 3 out of every 100, and 3 multiplied by 5 is 15. Then you multiply 100 by 5 and its 500 so out of 500 parts 15 would be defective
