Question

Alex buys 24 apples from the supermarket. When he gets home, he finds that 6 apples are bad.

What percentage of the apples are bad? Round your answer to the nearest number.

Answer 1

To find the percentage of bad apples, we need to divide the number of bad apples by the total number of apples and then multiply by 100%. In this case, there were 24 apples in total and 6 of them were bad, so the percentage of bad apples is 6/24 * 100% = 25%. Rounded to the nearest number, this is equal to 25%.
