Question

A computer chip manufacturer made 270,000 chips last week. If 8% of them were defective, how many defective chips were made?

Answer 1

Number of defective chips = 8% of 270,000

                                             = $\frac{8}{100}$ x 270000

                                             = 8 x 2700

                                             = 21,600

Thus, 21,600 defective chips were made.
