What is unitary method?

It is a method where we find the value of a single unit from the value of multiple units and the value of multiple units from the value of a single unit.

According to the question

A company has 500 computers that are used by its employees. A sample of 40 of these computers finds that 12 of them require an update to the printer driver.

Using unitary method,

[tex]\frac{40}{12} =\frac{500}{x}[/tex]

Where x is the best estimate of the number of the company's computers that require an update.

x  = [tex]\frac{12.(500)}{40}[/tex]

x = 150

To convert it into percentage,

[tex](\frac{150}{500} ).100[/tex]

= 30 %

Hence, the best estimate of the percent of the company's computers that require an update to the printer driver is 30%.
