Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
Factory A proportion:
3 : 2,000
Factory B proportion:
5 : 4,500 (this can be simplified):
1 : 900
Now plug in 18,000 to each proportion:
Factory A:
x : 18,000
x = 27
Factory B:
x = 20
Factory A had the greater amount of defects, 27
40,000,000 + 20,000 + 3,000 + 30 + 2
and
forty million twenty-three thousand thirty-two
1/4x = -12
X=-48
30,290,000 people
The question is asking if the trend continues from the PREVIOUS year, so we would find the 30% of 23,300,000
23,300,000/100 = 233,000 = 1%
233,000 x 30 = 6,990,000
23,300,000 = 6,990,000 = 30,290,000
