Let's first understand the information the problem gives us
⇒ 6000 nails were done
⇒ 2% of the 6000 nails were faulty
⇒ 2% is equivalent to 2/100
⇒ therefore 2/100 of 6000 nails were faulty
⇒ 2 out of every 100 nails were faulty
⇒ written mathematically
[tex]Faulty-nails=\frac{2}{100}*6000 = 2 * 60 = 120[/tex]
Thus there were 120 faulty nails
Hope that helped!
