Question

A shop has $600$ shirts and $400$ trousers, out of which one-fourth are defective. What percentage of shirts are defective?

Answer 1

Calculate the percentage of shirts are defective

Here given that, There are $600$ shirts, out of which one-fourth are defective,

So, defective shirts are $600\times \frac{1}{4}=150$

Now, the percentage of defective shirts = $\frac{150}{600}\times 100\%=25\%$

Hence, $25\%$ percentage of shirts are defective
