To determine the number of non-cracked pencils produced, start by calculating the total number of cracked pencils. Since 7% of the total 1000 pencils are cracked, you can find the number of cracked pencils by taking 7% of 1000:

7% of 1000 = 0.07 * 1000 = 70 cracked pencils.

To find the number of non-cracked pencils, subtract the number of cracked pencils from the total number of pencils:

1000 total pencils - 70 cracked pencils = 930 non-cracked pencils.

This calculation shows that 930 is indeed the accurate number of non-cracked pencils produced from a total of 1000, given that 7% of them were cracked.
