In a fruit basket , 42% of the fruits are cherries and 58% fruits are apples.Find the ratio of cherries to apples if 200 fruits in all.​

Answer 1

Answer:

there are 84 cherries and 116 apples so it is 84:116

Step-by-step explanation:

42/100 ×200=84

58/100×200=116

Answer 2

Answer:

NO. OF CHERRIES = 84

NO. OF APPLES = 116

Step-by-step explanation:

$no \: of \: cherries \: = \binom{42}{100} \times 200 \\ no \: of \: cherries \: = 42 \times 2 = 84$

SO NO. OF CHERRIES IS EQUAL TO 84

AND LET THE NO. OF APPLES BE X

THEN,

$x = \binom{58}{100} \times 200 \\ x = 58 \times 2 \\ x = 116$

Hence, The no. of apple is equal to 116.

THE RATIO OF NO. OF CHERRIES TO APPLES IS :-

=>84:116

=>42:58

=>21:29
