Answer 2

Answer:-

Your Answer Is 1%.

Explanation:-

Given:-

Total Items In The Shop = 500.

Number Of Defective Items = 5.

To Find:-

The Percentage Of Defective Items.

Formula Used:-

\orange{ \bullet \boxed{ \pink{ \textbf{percentage = $ \bf\dfrac{d}{total \: \: quantity} \times 100 \%$}}}}∙

percentage =

totalquantity

d

×100%

Where,

d is the quantity of which we want to find out the percentage

So Here,

Percentage = ?? [To Find].

d = 5.

Total Quantity = 500.

Therefore Percentage,

$$\begin{lgathered}\\ \rm = \dfrac{d}{total \: \: quantity} \times 100 \% .\end{lgathered}$$

$$\begin{lgathered}\\ \tt = \dfrac{5}{5 \cancel{00}} \times 1\cancel{00} \%\end{lgathered}$$

$$\begin{lgathered}\\ \tt = \dfrac{5}{5} \times 1 \%\end{lgathered}$$

$$\begin{lgathered}\\ \large \red{ \boxed{ \blue{ \bf = 1 \%}}}\end{lgathered}$$

Therefore The Percentage Of Having Defective Items In The Shop Is Equal To 1%.

One More Related Formula:-

Suppose If we have given the percentage (say "x%") and total quantity (say y) then the formula to find out the x quantity,

$$\orange{\bf\bullet\boxed{\purple{\bf x\:\:Quantity = \bf\dfrac{x\%}{100\%}\times y.}}}$$
