The question is incomplete had the number of harvested apples isn't given.

Answer:

0.06n

Explanation:

When a farmer harvests apples he expects 6% of the apples to be rotten how many apples would the farmer expect to be rotting when harvesting apples

The expected percentage of rotten apples when harvesting = 6%

The expected number of rotten apples can be obtained by taking the product of the expected percentage and the number of apples to be harvested.

Since the number of harvested apples isn't given,

Let the number of harvested apples = n

Therefore, the expected number of rotten apples will be :

6% * n

0.06n

Note : you can easily substitute the actual number of harvested apples for n in the equto get the actual answer
