a catalog store has 6% of its orders returned for a refund. the owner predicts that a new candle will have 812 returns out of the16,824 sold. do you agree with this prediction? explain.

Sagot :

x / 16,824 = 6 / 100
16,824 x 6 = 100,944
100,944 / 100 = 1,009.44
Disagree, approx. 1,009 will be returned.

Answer:

disagree, 1009 candles will return out.

Step-by-step explanation:

A catalog store has 6% of its orders returned for a refund.

The number of new candles sold = 16,824

6% of the sale is returned for a refund = 6% of 16,824

                                                               = [tex]\frac{6}{100}\times 16,824[/tex]

                                                               = 0.06 × 16,824

                                                               = 1009.44 ≈ 1009

No, I do not agree with this prediction of "812 candles will have returned out", because 6% of 16,824 is 1009 candles, that will have returned out.
