Answer:

80%

Explanation:

9 + 4 + 7 = 20

1 out of 20 = 5%

4 plums = 20%

Answer:

4/5 or 80%

Explanation:

So u add up all the fruits which is 20. And then then u make a fraction which is all fruits but not plums over all fruits. So it is 16/20. The 16 came from not having the plums bc there are 4 plums and 20 - 4 = 16. Simplified of 16/20 is 4/5 or %80.
