    Answer: 16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total number of laptops ordered = 650

    Number of laptops tested = 40

    Number of laptops that takes more than 30 seconds to start up = 1

    To get the number of laptops that will take 30 seconds to start in the whole shipment goes thus:

    Let the number of laptops that will take more than 30 seconds be represented by y.

    1 : 40 = y : 650

    1/40 = y/650

    Cross multiply

    40y = 650

    y = 650/40

    y = 16.25 which approximately gives 16.

    There are expected to be 26 laptops that takes more than 30 seconds to start.
