Answer:

20%

Explanation:

In this exercise, we want to convert the sellers gain or say represent the sellers gain as a percentage

step one

given data

given that he sells a total of 75 apples

and also that he gains 15 apples

step two

To solve or show the percentage gain, we have to divide the total sales by the profit made and multiply the result by 100, that way we have the percentage gain.

i.e (profit/total sales)*100

= (15/75)*100

= 0.2*100

= 20%
