1190 pairs of shoes are defective
Solution:
Given that shoe company found that 4.25% of the production is defective
The company made 28,000 pairs of shoes
To find: Number of pairs of defective shoes
From given information, 4.25% of the production is defective which means 4.25% of 28,000 pairs of shoes
Defective shoes = 4.25% of 28,000
Defective shoes [tex]= \frac{4.25}{100} \times 28000[/tex]
Defective shoes [tex]= 4.25 \times 280 = 1190[/tex]
Thus 1190 pairs of shoes were defective
