Question

Jacob had 15 apples and gave 10 to his brother. If he had 21 apples and wanted to give the same percentage to his brother, how many apples should he get?

Answer 1

14 Apples

10 is 2/3 of 15, and 14 is 2/3 of 21, so 14 apples would make it an equal percentage

Answer 2

14 apples

Explanation:

10/15 = 2/3 = 66 2/3%

21 / 3 = 7

7x2 = 14

14 apples
