Answer 2

Answer:

1% items are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to problem,

Number of item shops has(n) = 500

Number of defective items(d) = 5.

Percentage of defective items = (Number of defective items/Total number of items) *100

= $\frac{d}{n} *100$

$= \frac{5}{500}*100$

= 1%.
