the baseball team equipment manager received a shipment of new baseballs. out of 200 balls 12.5% had defects. How many baseballs were without defects?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

175 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12.5 percent of the balls had defects, then [tex]100-12.5=87.5[/tex]% of balls didn't have defects.

We can find 87.5 percent of 200 by converting 87.5 to a decimal.

87.5% as a decimal is 0.875.

Now we multiply this decimal by 200.

[tex]200\cdot0.875 = 175[/tex]

So, 175 balls didn't have defects.

Hope this helped!
