Answer:
They should expect 165 damaged pieces in 5500 jewelry pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing we need to do is to get some metrics to measure the rate at which the damaged jewelry is seen.
We can use 15 pieces of jewelry that are damaged for every 500 ordered.
Once this is done, we can then use this to estimate how many pieces of jewelry are damaged if 5,500 are ordered.
We now need to know how many sets of 500 pieces of Jewelry are in 5,500.
This is 5,500/ 500 = 11 sets
Therefore, all 11 sets will have 15 damaged pieces of jewelry each. The total number of damaged jewelry pieces will be 15 X 11 = 165 damaged pieces
The sum of this arithmetic series is 52.
Note : Since unit of currency is not defined, I'll be using units.
Sales tax on a 15000 units car = 540 units
540 = 15000 × tax% / 100
=> 540 = 15000 × tax% / 100
=> 540/15000 = tax% / 100
=> tax% = (540/15000) × 100
=> tax% = 540/140
=> tax% = 3.6
now,
sales tax on a 32000 units car = 32000 × tax%/100
= 32000 × 3.6/100
= 320 × 3.6
= 1152 units
therefore sales tax on a 32000 units car = 1152 units
The number of records that each file drawer can hold = 50 clients
The number of drawers in each cabinet = 5
Total number of clients that the office has = 600
The total number of files that a cabinet can hold = 50 * 5
= 250
Then
The number of cabinets that needs to be ordered = 600/250
= 12/5
= 2 2/5
So 3 cabinets need to be ordered by the company. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
