Final answer:

To determine the percentage of bad mangoes in a box, divide the number of bad mangoes by the total number of mangoes and multiply by 100. In this case, 22% of the mangoes in a box of 200 are bad.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out what percentage of the mangoes are bad, we can use the formula:

Percentage = (Number of bad mangoes ÷ Total number of mangoes) × 100%

In this case:

Percentage of bad mangoes = (44 ÷ 200) × 100%

Let's do the calculation:

Percentage of bad mangoes = (0.22) × 100%

Percentage of bad mangoes = 22%

Therefore, 22% of the mangoes in the box are bad.
