A light phone company advertises that its light bulb will last 100 hours. if 92% of the bulbs the company produces actually last that long. approximately how many light bulbs should be produced to have 15000 light bulbs meet the advertising claim?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16,304

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to have a number that has 15,000 be 92% of it.  To do this, divide 15,000 by 92% to find the total needed.

92% = 0.92

15,000/0.92 = 16,304.3 = 16,304

You will need 16,304 light bulbs.

A company should produce 16,304 bulbs to have 15,000 light bulbs meet the advertising claim.

The percentage formula:

"For a number x, m% of number x is [tex]=x\times \frac{m}{100}[/tex] "

For given question,

Let 'n' represents the number of bulbs that should be produced to have 15000 light bulbs meet the advertising claim.

This means 92% of 'n' light bulbs should be 15000 light bulbs.

⇒ 15000 = n × (92/100)

⇒ 15000 = n × 0.92

⇒ n = (15000) / (0.92)

⇒ n = 16304.3

⇒ n ≈ 16304

Therefore, there should be 16304 light bulbs.
