Question

A vendor sells 60% of apples he had and throws away 15% of the remaining apples. Next day, he sells 50% of the remaining apples and throws away the rest. What % of the apples does the vendor throw away?

Answer 1

Vendor sells = 60%

Remaining = 40%

Throws away = 15/40 × 100

= 37.5%

Remains = 62.5%

Next day sells = 50%

Throws = 12.5%

Therefore he throws away = 37.5 + 12.5

= 50%
