To find the percentage of shoes that are rejected, we need to divide the number of rejected shoes by the total number of shoes and then multiply by 100.
The factory rejects 3 out of every 200 pairs of shoes, so the rejected shoes can be calculated as 3/200 = 0.015.
To convert this decimal to a percentage, we multiply by 100. So, 0.015 * 100 = 1.5%.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1.5%.
To find the percentage of shoes that are rejected, you need to divide the number of rejected shoes by the total number of shoes and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
In this case, the factory rejects 3 out of every 200 pairs of shoes. To find the percentage, you divide the number of rejected shoes (3) by the total number of shoes (200), which gives you 3/200.
To get the percentage, you multiply this fraction by 100: (3/200) * 100 = 1.5%.
Therefore, the percentage of shoes that are rejected is 1.5%.
