Question

For every$8,000$ lawn mowers produced by a lawn mower factory, exactly $6$ are defective. At this rate. how many lawn mowers were produced during a period in which exactly 15 lawn mowers were defective?

• A. $800$
• B. $8,000$
• C. $12,000$
• D. $20,000$
• E. $24,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $20,000$

In $8000$ lawn movers exactly $6$ are defective.

If there are $15$ defecive ones then inorder to produce those we must produce $\frac{15}{6}\times 8000=20000$ lawn movers

So, the correct option is $D$.
