Answer:

22.4%

Explanation:

There were twice as many sapodillas as paw paws--take the sapodillas as 2 units and paw paws as 1 unit.

Form an equation.

2u + 1u + 82 = 250

Simplify and solve for 1 unit.

3u = 168

1u = 56

Number of paw paws is 56.

Formula for finding percentage of an object is given as (number of object/total number of items) x 100.

Percentage of paw paws

= (56/250) x 100

= 22.4%
