Visualize a illustration showing a basket filled with 100 oranges, 85 of these oranges are fresh and brightly orange colored, symbolizing healthy and delicious fruits. The rest, which are 15, are shown in a contrasting dark color with spots, symbolizing them as rotten or unhealthy. Use a representative bar chart beside the basket to visually denote the percentage of rotten oranges to healthy ones.

If 15 out of 100 oranges are rotten what percentage are rotten

"percent" means "per hundred"

so, that would be 15 percent, right?

yeah

Well, if 15 out of 100 oranges are rotten, that means 15% are rotten. But don't worry, even if those oranges are feeling a little down, they can still make great juice. Just be careful not to catch their sour mood!

To find the percentage of rotten oranges, you can divide the number of rotten oranges by the total number of oranges (100 in this case) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

So in this case, there are 15 rotten oranges out of 100. To find the percentage, you can use the formula: (Number of rotten oranges / Total number of oranges) * 100.

(15 / 100) * 100 = 15%

Therefore, 15% of the oranges are rotten.

You have two numbers. What do you think you should do with them?

add?
subtract?
multiply?
divide?

Then multiply your answer by 100 to get the percentage.

I'll be glad to check your answer.

Very good
