82 light bulbs are bad.

Calculation:
22,158 / 268 = 82.79
Since we cannot have a fraction of a light bulb, we round down to 82.
dont round it
In that case, if 3 out of every 268 light bulbs are bad, then for 22,158 light bulbs:
22,158 / 268 = 82.4626865672

Therefore, there would be approximately 82 light bulbs that are bad in the batch of 22,158.

I apologize for the mistake.

To find out how many bad light bulbs are in the batch of 22,158 light bulbs, we can set up a proportion:

3 bad light bulbs / 268 total light bulbs = x bad light bulbs / 22,158 total light bulbs

Cross multiply to solve for x:

3 * 22,158 = 268x
66,474 = 268x
x ≈ 247.98

Therefore, approximately 248 light bulbs are bad in the batch of 22,158 light bulbs.
