Answer 2

Answer: The required percent of red apples is 67%.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a bowl has 15 apples, and 10 of the apples are red.

We are to find the percent of the apples that are red to the nearest whole number.

The percent of the apples that are red is given by

`p_r=\frac{\textup{number of red apples}}{\textup{total number of apples}}*100\%.`

Number of red apples = 10

and

total number of apples = 15.

Therefore, we get

`p_r\\\\=(10)/(15)*100\%\\\\\\=(200)/(3)\%\\\\=66.67\%.`

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get

`p_r=67\%.`

Thus, the required percent of red apples is 67%.
