Answer:

245 flash drives

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that the proportion of broken flash drives in the 200 drive sample is the same as the proportion of broken flash drives in the weekly output. Therefore, if we let [tex]x[/tex] be the number of broken flash drives produced that week, we can write the following equation:

[tex]\frac{7}{200} =\frac{x}{7000}[/tex]

Solving for [tex]x[/tex], we get:

[tex]\frac{7}{200} =\frac{x}{7000}[/tex]

[tex]7000 * \frac{7}{200} =x[/tex] (Multiply both sides of the equation by [tex]7000[/tex] to isolate [tex]x[/tex])

[tex]\bf x=245[/tex] flash drives (Multiply)

Hope this helps!
