Question

A crate contains 400 Apple's.8dozen apples were spoiled.find the percentage of good apples in the crate

Answer 1

8 dozen = 96

Good apples = 400 - 96 = 304

Percentage of good apple = (good apple/total apple)×100
Percentage of good apple = (304/400)×100
Percentage of good apple = 76%

Answer 2

Given:

• Total number of apples a crate contains = 400
• Total number of spoiled apples = 8 dozen = 8×12 = 96

To Find:

• The percentage of good apples in the crate.

Solution:

First, let us find the number of good apples,

No: of good apples = total number of apples - total number of spoiled apples

No: of good apples = 400 - 96 = 304 {subtracting the terms}

Now we are finding the percentage of good apples,

percentage of good apples = (304/400)×100 = 0.76 ×100 {dividing the terms and multiplying the same}

percentage of good apples = 76 %

∴ The percentage of good apples in the crate = 76%
