18.) A quality control inspecto has fund that 3.2% of the garmets produced at Stanford garments contain a defect. If standard garments produces 4117 garments in one day how many of those garments are expected to have a defect????????????

Answer 4

Do you remember how to find the % of a number?

Answer 5

ok, to find a percentage of something, there are several ways to find it, the easiest is to multiply the percent as a decimal to the number

Answer 6

times by 100?

Answer 7

i give up...good luck!

Answer 8

3.2% of 4117
turn the percent into a decimal
" of " means multiply
so once you get your decimal, multiply it by 4117

Answer 9

no, to make a percent into a decimal, move the decimal place 2 places to the left. so what would 3.2% be as a decimal?

Answer 10

.032 x4117???? then after i do that i get the nswer to the problem??? just asking

Answer 11

you can either move it two spaces to the left, or divide it by 100

Answer 12

i asked is that what i said what i do?

Answer 14

3.2 divided by 100 is what ?

Answer 15

oh my goodness, @texaschic101 , i know you are trying to help, but hold on one second, moving the decimal place over 2 places is the same thing

so @caitlynmcdaniel .032 x 4117 is what you need to do

Answer 17
