Scaling percentages to calculate values on an even scale

19 Views Asked by At

Factory $A$ had $20$ defective items this year. Factory $B$ has $180$ defective items this year.

However, Factory A only produced $6\%$ of the products Factory $B$ does.

We need to find the number of defective items that Factory $A$ would produce this year if they produced the same $\#$ of products as Factory $B$ did (and not only $6\%$).

How would we do this and what would the predicted number be for Factory $A$?
