Question

an inspector tested the first 125 radios that came off the production line today and found only 60% acceptable. After the inspector tested 25 more radios, the overall percentage of acceptable radios rose to 62%. The number of these 25 radios that were rejected is???

Answer 1

Answer: 7 radios

Step-by-step explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Number of radios tested = 125 radios

Percentage acceptable = 60%

Numbers acceptable:

= 60% × 125

= 0.6 × 125

= 75 radios

Numbers rejected = 125 - 75 = 50 radio

We are further told that the inspector tested 25 more radios, this will be:

Number of radios tested

= 125 + 25 = 150 radios

Percentage acceptable = 62%

Numbers acceptable

= 62% × 150

= 0.62 × 150

= 93 radios

Numbers rejected= 150 - 93 = 57 radios

The number of these 25 radios that were rejected will be:

= 57 - 50

= 7 radios
