1190 pairs of shoes are defective
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that shoe company found that 4.25% of the production is defective
The company made 28,000 pairs of shoes
To find: Number of pairs of defective shoes
From given information, 4.25% of the production is defective which means 4.25% of 28,000 pairs of shoes
Defective shoes = 4.25% of 28,000
Defective shoes 
Defective shoes 
Thus 1190 pairs of shoes were defective
$409.80.
The amount of net profit the store makes on each container is given by 1.67-0.83 (the amount it is sold for subtracted by the amount it costs the store), which is $0.84 per container. They sell 470 containers, so the net profit at this point is 470(0.84) = $394.80.
However, since the distributor is giving the store a $0.50 refund on all every container under 500 that the store sells, the store gets additional money back:
500-470 = 30 containers not sold
30(0.50) = 15
So the total profit is $394.80 + 15 = $409.80.
Write and solve an equation:
Total earnings = $782.75 = s(40 hrs) + 1.5*s*(7 hrs)
Then 782.75 = 40s + 10.5s = 50.5s
Dividing both sides by 50.5: s = 15.5. The attendant's regular hourly wage was $15.50.
