Question

A manager samples the receipts of every fifth person who goes through the line. Out of 50 people, 4 had a mispriced item. If 1,400 people go to this store each day, how many people would you expect to have a mispriced item?

Answer 1

Answer:

112 people

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{50}$ = $\frac{x}{1400}$  write the proportion where x is the number of people with a             missplaced time

50x = 5600  cross multipy

x = 112 divide both sides by 50
