To find this answer, we must first find the percentage of batteries that are defective. We can do this by dividing 3 by 500.
3 / 500 = 0.006
So our percentage of defective batteries is 0.6%.
Now, to find out how many defective batteries would be in a batch of 12000, we just need to multiply the constant (percentage of defective batteries) by the amount in the new batch.
12000 * 0.006 = 72
In a shipment of 12,000 batteries, 72 will be defective, so the correct answer choice would be B.
Hope that helped =)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem
we know that
In the right triangle ABD

In the right triangle BCD

remember that
m< BAD=m<CBD
therefore

equate the equations



1+1+1+1=4
2+2+2+2=16
3+3+3+3=?
