The probability of selecting an apple or a banana can be calculated by adding the individual probabilities of selecting an apple and selecting a banana.
Probability of selecting an apple = 5/20 = 1/4
Probability of selecting a banana = 10/20 = 1/2
Adding the probabilities:
1/4 + 1/2 = 3/4
So, the probability of selecting an apple or a banana is 3/4.
Converting this to percent form:
(3/4) x 100% = 75%
Therefore, the answer is 75%.
The correct answer is:
75%
