Nine hundred light bulbs are packaged and shipped to a retail store. Thirteen percent of the light bulbs arrive broken. Which equation can be used to find the number of light bulbs that were broken?

Verified Answer :

Answer:

\(x = 13\% \times 900\) Or   \(x = \frac{13}{100}\times 900\).

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bulbs = 900

Percentage of broken bulbs = 13%

Let x be the number of broken bulbs

Thirteen percent of the light bulbs arrive broken

So, \(x = 13\% \times 900\)

Or

\(x = \frac{13}{100}\times 900\)

Or

\(x =117\)

Hence The equation can be used to find the number of light bulbs that were broken is  \(x = 13\% \times 900\) Or   \(x = \frac{13}{100}\times 900\).
