Answer:
58 CD players
Explanation:
Three (3) out of every 100 CD players were defective.
[tex]\frac{\text{Defective}}{\text{Total}}=\frac{3}{100}[/tex]If there is a shipment of 1920 CD players, we have:
[tex]\frac{\text{Defective}}{\text{Total}}=\frac{\text{Defective}}{1920}[/tex]The proportion that could be used is:
[tex]\frac{3}{100}=\frac{Defective}{1920}[/tex]We solve the proportion above for the number of defective CD players.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Defective}\times100=1920\times3 \\ \text{Defective=}\frac{1920\times3}{100} \\ =57.6 \\ \approx58 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, approximately 58 CD players may be defective in a shipment of 1920 CD players.
