Answer 1

Answer:

total apples 1500

rotten apples . 300

good apples. 1500-300

1200

percentage 1200÷1500×100

0.8×100 = 80%

Answer 2

Answer:

80% of the apples were good apples in cold storage

Step-by-step explanation:

300 of the apples were found rotten.

Now, 1500/300 = 5, so if we divide 100/5, we get 20, meaning that 300 apples = 20% of the total apples (1500)

This 20% was rotten, so the remaining apples are good apples and the percentage is 100%-20% = 80%
