A retailer agreed to take 5000 ball point pen. However he found that 12 persent are faulty. What was the percentage decrement ​

Respuesta :

Answer:

88%

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is 88% because 12% of the pens are defective.

As a result, 12% ÷ 5000 = 12 ÷ 100 x 5000

= 600

There are 600 defective pens.

The pens that are left are 5000 - 600 = 4400.

4400 pens are in good working order.

This means that 88 percent = 4400 ÷ 5000 x 100

I hope this helps! ^-^
