An inspector rejects 0.08% of the meters as defective. How many will he examine to reject 2?
Answer
No answer key was printed for this question.
Explanation
Let the number of meters to be examined be $x$. Then, $0.08\%$ of $x=2 \Leftrightarrow \left(\frac{8}{100}\times\frac{1}{100}\times x\right)=2 \Leftrightarrow x=\left(\frac{2\times 100\times 100}{8}\right)=2500$.
