Question
A box contains 60 apples. If one-fifth of the apples are rotten, what percent of the apples are rotten? (1 point)
%
To find the percent of rotten apples, we need to divide the number of rotten apples by the total number of apples and then multiply by 100.
One-fifth of 60 is 60/5 = 12 apples.
So, 12 apples are rotten out of 60 total apples.
To find the percent, we divide 12 by 60 and multiply by 100:
(12/60) * 100 = 20%
Therefore, 20% of the apples are rotten.
