A basket of fruits contains 10 bananas, 5 mangoes, and 5 apples. A fruit is selected at random. Calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana. Express the answer in percent form.(1 point) Responses 0 0 75% 75% 62.5% 62.5% 12.5%
To calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana, we need to add the number of apples and bananas together and divide by the total number of fruits.
Total number of apples and bananas = 10 (bananas) + 5 (apples) = 15
Total number of fruits = 10 (bananas) + 5 (mangoes) + 5 (apples) = 20
Probability = (Number of apples + Number of bananas) / Total number of fruits
Probability = 15 / 20
Probability = 0.75
Converting to percent form:
0.75 * 100% = 75%
Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple or a banana is 75%.
