In a basket filled with 16 apples and 24 oranges ,what percent of fruits in the basket is oranges
Answer provided by our tutors
The total number of fruits is: 16 + 24 = 40 fruits
We find the percentage of oranges by dividing the number of oranges by the total number of fruits in the basket:
24/40 = 0.6 or 60%
60% of the fruits are oranges.
