Question

A manager samples the receipts of every fifth person who goes through the line. Out of 50 people, 6 had a mispriced item. If 1,600 people go to this store each day, how many people would you expect to have a mispriced item?

Answer 1

48 people

Explanation:

1. 4/50 = x/600 do 4x600 and 50 times x

2.50x=2400

3. divide both sides by 50 to get a result of x=48.
