Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

Given data,

Number of apples in a box are $60$

Out of the total apples the number of apples rotten are $40$.

We have to find the percentage of apples which are rotten.

Let the percentage of rotten apples be $x$

In order find the percentage of apples rotten.

We have the formula,

$x=\frac{Part value}{whole value} \times 100$

Part value is $40$

Whole value is $60$

$x=\frac{40}{60} \times 100$

$x=\frac{4000}{60}$

$x=66.66$

Therefore, the percentage of apples which are rotten in the box is $66.66$%
