Question

50% of the fruits collected were ripe. If 100 fruits were ripe, find the total number of fruits collected.

Answer 1

200 fruits

Explanation:

The questions states that 50% of the fruits were ripe, and that 100 fruits were ripe

Therefore: 100 = 50%

Which makes the total amount of fruits 200

Don't believe me? Reverse work:

200 / 2 = 100

200 = 100%, 100 = 50%
