    1.25% widgets from factory A fail.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability of widgets that fail = 0.05

    Probability of failing widget to belong from factory A = 0.25

    Probability of failing widget to belong from factory B = 0.35

    Probability of failing widget to belong from factory C = 0.40

    Probability of factory A widgets failing = Probability of widgets failing * probability they belonged from factory A

    Probability of factory A widgets failing = 0.05 * 0.25 = 0.0125

    This probability stated as percentage: 1.25%
