Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial number of fruits be x.
The first day :
Fruits sold = 0.3x
Fruits thrown away = 0.4x
The remaining fruits = x - (0.3x + 0.4x)
= 0.3x
Day two :
Fruits sold = 0.15x
Thrown away = 0.15x
Total thrown fruits = 0.15x + 0.4x = 0.55x
In percentage we have :
0.55x/x × 100% = 55%
