Shoe factory inspects all of its shoes before shipping it rejects three out of every 200 pairs of shoes are defective what percentage of shoes are rejected

Answer 1

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

\[ \text{Percentage of rejected shoes} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of rejected shoes}}{\text{Total number of shoes}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case, it is given that 3 out of every 200 pairs of shoes are defective.

So the calculation would be:

\[ \text{Percentage of rejected shoes} = \left( \frac{3}{200} \right) \times 100 = 1.5% \]

Therefore, 1.5% of the shoes are rejected.
