we are told that there 5 damaged tablets out of 80 that are sold. Therefore, the rate of damaged tablets per sold tablets is:
[tex]\frac{5\text{ damaged}}{80\text{ sold}}[/tex]Multiplying this rate by the 400 sold tablets we get:
[tex]\frac{5\text{ damaged}}{80\text{ sold}}\times40\text{0 sold}[/tex]Solving we get:
[tex]\frac{5\text{ damaged}}{80\text{ sold}}\times40\text{0 sold}=25\text{ damaged}[/tex]Therefore, if the rate continues, the company can expect to return 25 tablets.
