Question

40
416
650
41,600

Answer 1

To find the number of defective batteries, you can multiply the total number of batteries produced by the percentage that is defective.

1. Calculate the number of defective batteries: \[ \text{Defective batteries} = \text{Total batteries} \times \text{Percentage defective} \] \[ \text{Defective batteries} = 5200 \times 0.08 \]

2. Perform the multiplication: \[ 5200 \times 0.08 = 416 \]

So, the number of defective batteries is 416.
