An assembly line inspector inspected 340 machine parts. 323 of the parts passed inspection. What percent of the machine parts did NOT pass inspection?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5% did not pass inspection

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Inspected= 340[/tex]

[tex]Passed = 323[/tex]

Required

Determine the percentage of parts that didn't pass inspection.

First, we need to calculate the number of those that didn't pass inspection.

[tex]Failed = Inspected - Passed[/tex]

[tex]Failed = 340 - 323[/tex]

[tex]Failed = 17[/tex]

Next, we calculate the percentage as follows:

[tex]\% = \frac{Failed}{Inspected} * 100\%[/tex]

The above formula is derived by dividing the number of parts that didn't pass inspection by the total machine inspected, then multiplied by 100%

So:

[tex]\% = \frac{17}{340} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% = \frac{17 * 100\%}{340}[/tex]

[tex]\% = \frac{1700\%}{340}[/tex]

[tex]\% = 5\%[/tex]

5% did not pass inspection
