@ganeshie8 A toy company took a sample of its toys and found that 3% of the toys were defective. If the company shipped 1200 toys, how many of the toys would the company expect to be defective?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide 1200 by .03

Isn't that right @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Does that really make any sense at all ? : how can u have 40,000 defective toys when the original toys are only 1200 ?
