Question

A factory makes \[1150\]shirts in a day. How many can be sent to shops if \[6\% \]of the shirts have defects in stitching?

Answer 1

Hint: First, we know that a percentage is a number that is out of $100$ and it is usually denoted by the symbol \[\% \] .
Here in this question, it is given that a factory manufactures \[1150\] shirts on a day.
We have to find out \[6\% \] of \[1150.\]
This number could be the number of shirts having stitching defects.
We have to subtract this \[1150\] to calculate the number of shirts that do not have a stitching defect and can be sent to the shops.

Complete step by step answer:
We have taken any number.
Let us name it as c.
When we are asked what is \[12\% \] of c.
It is nothing but \[\dfrac{{12}}{{100}} \times c\].
In that same way \[6\% \] of \[1150\] \[ = \dfrac{6}{{100}} \times 1150\] \[ = 69\]
Hence, there are \[69\] shirts with stitching defects which can’t be sent to the shops.
Now, we need to calculate the number of shirts that have been sent\[ = 1150 - 69\]
                                                                                                                           $ = 1081$
Hence, $1081$ shirts can be sent.

Note: We know that a percentage is a number that is out of$100$ and it is usually denoted by the symbol \[\% \] . We know that Percentage is a very important chapter in that concept; it can be clubbed with other concepts in the given questions.
