400/14 = 1000/x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "400x = 14*1000\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "400x = 14000\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 14000/400\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 35\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So you should expect 35 defective parts in a shipment of 1000 parts.\r
