Asked by Confused Child

Hello everyone. Please don't leave. I am stuck in math, but i want to solve it by myself, but have a small question. So basically, there are 1,000 telephones made a day. They take 30 out and test them. It is brought to their attention that 9 are defective. How many are defective a day? that is the question. I am stuck on figuring out 30 times what equals 1000. I think it is like 33 or something, but i im off by a lot. Any help?

0.3 * 1,000 = ________
