A shoe factory inspects all of its shoes before shipping. It rejects three out of every 200 pairs of shoes asked effective. What percentage of shoes are reject?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of shoes that are rejected, we can use the formula:

(Rejected shoes / Total shoes) * 100%

In this case, the factory rejects three out of every 200 pairs of shoes. So, the number of rejected shoes is 3, and the total number of shoes is 200 pairs.

Plugging these values into the formula:

(3 / 200) * 100% = 1.5%

Therefore, the percentage of shoes that are rejected is 1.5%.
