The probability of selecting an apple or a banana can be calculated by adding the number of apples and bananas in the basket and dividing by the total number of fruits.
Probability = (number of apples + number of bananas) / total number of fruits
Probability = (5 + 10) / (10 + 5 + 5)
Probability = 15 / 20
Probability = 0.75
Converting the probability into percentage form:
0.75 x 100% = 75%
Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple or a banana is 75%.
Correct response: 75%
