If it is discovered that 65 out of 12,800 records are misfiled, what is the filing accuracy rate?

what is (12800-65)/12800 * 100 percent?

To calculate the filing accuracy rate, you need to divide the number of accurately filed records by the total number of records, and then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage.

Explanation:
1. Calculate the number of accurately filed records:
Accurately filed records = Total records - Misfiled records
= 12,800 - 65
= 12,735

2. Calculate the filing accuracy rate:
Filing accuracy rate = (Accurately filed records / Total records) * 100
= (12,735 / 12,800) * 100
≈ 99.49 (rounded to two decimal places)

The filing accuracy rate is approximately 99.49%.
