Question

36. A company reports that 20000 electronics parts were found defective. If this represents 5% of the total shipment, how many of these parts were shipped? a) 40000 b) 30000 c) 20000 d) 10000​

Answer 1

Let the Total shipment be x

5% of total shipment = 20000

5% of x = 20000

5/100 × x = 20000

5x/100 = 20000

x/20 = 20000

x = 20000×20

x = 400000

Hence, the total shipment of electronics parts were 400000.
