Given,

On the basis of past experience, a contractor expects to find 4.5% Broken Brickson every truckload.

He orders 2000.

We need to see whether Briggs will have enough to complete a job requiring 1900 bricks.

How to find a percentage of a number?

Example:

- 20% of M

= 20/100 x M

= 1/5 x M

- 25% of M

= 25/100 x M

= 1/4 x M

Find 4.5% of 2000.

= 4.5% x 2000

= 4.5 / 100 x 2000

= 4.5 x 20

= 45 x 2

= 90

The remaining bricks are:

= 2000 - 90

=  1910

We see that Briggs will have enough to complete a job requiring 1900 bricks.

1910 > 1900.

Thus,

Yes, Briggs will have enough to complete a job requiring 1900 bricks.
