How to Use the Calculator
- Enter the total number of items that were processed in the "Total Items Processed" field.
- Enter the number of items that were rejected in the "Number of Rejected Items" field.
- Click the "Calculate" button to compute the rejection percentage.
- The rejection percentage will be displayed along with the calculation details.
Understanding the Calculation
The rejection percentage is calculated using the following formula:
Rejection Percentage = (Rejected Items / Total Items) × 100
This formula gives you a percentage that represents how many items out of the total were rejected.
Example
Suppose you processed 100 items and 15 of them were rejected:
- Total Items Processed = 100
- Rejected Items = 15
- Rejection Percentage = (15 / 100) × 100 = 15%
In this example, the rejection percentage would be 15%, indicating that 15% of the processed items were rejected.
Important Notes
- The number of rejected items must be less than or equal to the total number of items processed.
- If you enter invalid values (negative numbers, non-numeric values, or rejected items greater than total items), the calculator will display an error message.
- This calculator is particularly useful in quality control processes to monitor and improve product quality over time.
