Question

There are 450 apples in a bucket and 30% of those apples are rotten. Find the number of fresh apples.
1. 325
2. 315
3. 305
4. 335

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 315

Given:

Total number of apples = 450

Percentage of rotten apples = 30%

Calculation:

Percentage of fresh apples = (100 – 30)%

⇒ 70%

Now, 100% = 450

So, 70% = (450/100%) × 70%

⇒ 315 apples

∴ The number of fresh apples is 315
