A basket holds 20 apples and 5 oranges. What per cent of the fruits are oranges?
A20 per cent
B25 per cent
C80 per cent
D50 per cent
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 20 per cent
1. Total fruits = 20 apples + 5 oranges = 25.
2. Fraction that is orange = 5/25.
3. Convert to per cent: (5/25) x 100 = 20.
4. So oranges are 20 per cent and apples the remaining 80 per cent.
