there are 3000 fruits in a fruit stall. 65% of the fruit are apples. 10% of the fruit are oranges and the rest are pears. how many more apples than pears are there?
195%
195 is 65% of 300, not of 3000
Anyway, that's not the question.
65% are apples
25% are pears
So, 40% difference, means
.40*3000 = 1200 more apples than pears
To find out how many more apples than pears there are, we need to calculate the number of apples and pears separately.
First, let's find the number of apples:
Given that 65% of the fruits are apples, we can calculate it by multiplying 65% by the total number of fruits.
Apples = 65% of 3000 fruits
Apples = (65/100) x 3000
Apples = 0.65 x 3000
Apples = 1950 fruits
Next, let's find the number of pears:
Since apples and oranges combined account for 75% of the fruits (65% apples + 10% oranges), the remaining 25% of fruits must be pears.
Pears = 25% of 3000 fruits
Pears = (25/100) x 3000
Pears = 0.25 x 3000
Pears = 750 fruits
Now, to find out how many more apples than pears there are, we subtract the number of pears from the number of apples:
More Apples = Apples - Pears
More Apples = 1950 - 750
More Apples = 1200
Therefore, there are 1200 more apples than pears in the fruit stall.
