Answer 2

Answer:

∴  Number of bad mangoes in a basket are $19$.    

Step-by-step explanation:

In context with the question asked,

• We have to find the number of good mangoes.
• It is given that, the basket contains two dozen mangoes.

        One dozen = $12$ units

• ∴ Number of mangoes in a basket = $2\times 12=24$
• % of bad mangoes = $25$%

• We have to calculate $25$% of bad mangoes of the total mangoes in a basket, then after subtracting it from total mangoes, we will get the number of good mangoes.

          ∴ Number of bad mangoes in a basket = $25$% of total mangoes

                                         = $\frac{25}{100} \times 24$

                                         = $\frac{600}{100}$    

                                         = $6$

• Now,

   Number of bad mangoes in a basket = Total mangoes - Bad mangoes

                                         = $25-6$

                                         = $19$

• ∴  Number of bad mangoes in a basket are $19$.
