Question

40
416
650
41,600

Answer 1

To find out how many batteries are defective, you can calculate 8% of 5,200.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal: 8% = 0.08

Now, multiply this decimal by the total number of batteries produced: Number of defective batteries = 5,200 * 0.08

Calculating this gives: Number of defective batteries = 5,200 * 0.08 = 416

Therefore, the number of defective batteries is 416.
