Answer:

Jill sold more apples

1 more than Alice

Explanation:

Jill sold 40 fruits

Alice sold 40 fruits

15% of Jill's sales is APPLES, that is:

15/100 = 0.15

0.15 * 40 = 6

Jill sold 6 apples.

Now, it is given Alice sold 5 apples.

Who sold more? Of course, Jill.

By how much? 6 - 5 = 1 apple more
