Question 350734: What is the best way to work this math word problem?
Of 6000 computers coming off a manufacturer’s assembly line, every third computer had a
hardware problem, every fourth computer had a softwareproblem, and every tenth computer had a cosmetic defect.
The remaining computers were perfect and were shipped to Wal-Mart. How many were shipped to Wal-Mart?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hint: Say there are 9 computers. If every third computer was defective, then computer #3, computer #6 and computer #9 are defective. So there are defective computers. This means that there are computers that are not defective.

6000 computers total every third one has a hardware problem that's 1/ 3 of them so 6000/3= 2000
6000 computers total every fourth one has a software problem that's 1/4 of them 6000/4=1500
6000 computers total every tenth one has a cosmetic problem that's 1/10 of them = 600
2000+1500+600= 4100
6000-4100= 1900 shipped
