Question

john had 84 apples his friend sam took away 22 of them how many apples does john have left. and what percentage did Sam take away.

Answer 1

John has left with 62 apples.

Sam takes away 26.19% of the total apples.

Given in the question,

John had 84 apples.

Sam took away 22 apples.

So, to find the number of apples left,

we have to subtract the total number of apples from the number of apples taken by sam,

Remaining apple = 84 - 22

= 62.

Therefore, the number of remaining apples is 62.

Now, we will find the Percentage Of apples taken by Sam,

=
`(22)/(84)` × 100

= 26.19%

Therefore, the percentage taken away is 26.19%

Answer 2

We have the following:

The apples that John has left would be the difference between the ones he initially had minus the ones that Sam took

`84-22=62`

To calculate the percentage that Sam took, we must divide the amount that Sam took and the total amount, that is, those that John had initially, then multiply by 100 so that it is a percentage.

`(22)/(84)\cdot100=26.19`

Therefore, the percentage is 26.19%
