Question

hyacintha picked 64 apples at a local Orchard. 40% of the apples were green apples how many green apples did she pick

Answer 1

Given, total number of apples picked, T=64.

The percentage of green apples, R=40%.

Let N be the number of green apples picked.

So,

`\begin{gathered} R=(N)/(T)*100 \\ N=(R)/(100)* T \\ N=(40)/(100)*64 \\ N=25.6 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 25 green apples were picked.
