Answer 1

1190 pairs of shoes are defective

Solution:

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 $= \frac{4.25}{100} \times 28000$

Defective shoes $= 4.25 \times 280 = 1190$

Thus 1190 pairs of shoes were defective
