A rate is a ratio that compares two related quantities. Common rates are speed = \({distance \over time}\), flow = \({amount \over time}\), and defect = \({errors \over units}\).
A machine in a factory has an error rate of 3 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 9 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 6 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
