PLLLLLLZZZZ HELP IT's DUE IN AN HOURRRRR!!! It's for middle school not college.

Elaine went apple-picking to practice making apple pies for the upcoming state fair’s apple pie competition. At the orchard, she picked 60 apples. When she arrived home, she realized that 15% of them were rotten, so she had to throw those out.

Write two expressions that represent the number of apples Elaine has left to make apple pies.

Answer:

I'm not 100% this is correct because i dunno what your teacher is looking for so

Explanation:

15% of 60 is 9%, so

60-15%= 9%

100%-15%= 91%

60- 0.15= 0.09

.100-0.15= 0.91
