The correct response is 1.5%.
To find the percentage of shoes that are rejected, we need to divide the number of rejected shoes (3) by the total number of shoes (200) and then multiply by 100.
(3/200) * 100 = 1.5%
To find the percentage of shoes that are rejected, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of rejected shoes to the total number of shoes.
The factory rejects 3 out of every 200 pairs of shoes, which means it rejects 3/200 = 0.015 or 1.5% of all shoes.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1.5%.
To calculate the percentage of shoes that are rejected, we need to divide the number of rejected shoes by the total number of pairs of shoes and then multiply it by 100 to express it as a percentage.
In this case, we know that 3 out of every 200 pairs of shoes are rejected as defective. So the fraction of rejected pairs of shoes is 3/200.
Now, to convert this fraction to a percentage, we multiply it by 100:
(3/200) * 100 = 0.015 * 100 = 1.5%
Therefore, the correct answer is 1.5%.
