Question

a basket contains 260 apples. if 15% of the apples were rotten , find the number of apples good enough to be sold.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$15\% \: of \: 260 \: \: (because \: out \: of \: 260 \: apples \: 15\% \: apples \: are \: rotten)$

$15\% \times 260$

$\frac{15}{100} \times 260$

$\frac{15}{10} \times 26$

$\frac{3}{2} \times 26$

$3 \times 13$

$39 \: apples \: are \: rotten$

$now \: we \: will \: subtract \: 39 \: from \: 260. \:$

$260 - 39$

$221 \: apples \: are \: good \: to \: be \: sold.$

Answer 2

39 apples are good enough
