Question

Molly bought a large basket of 60 apples.

When she got home, she found 6 rotten
ones. If she goes back and buys 200 more
apples, how many rotten apples would she
expect there to be?

Answer 1

approximately 14

Explanation:

first find out how many sets of 60 there are

200/60=3.3

3.3 sets of 4 apples

but you can't have 2/3 of a rotten apple

so 3.5 sets of 4 rotten apples

4x3.5=14
