If a trader sells 25 oranges, 45 bananas and 30 cashews in given day, what will be the proportion of these fruits sold for the day?

1 answer

To determine the proportion of each fruit sold for the day, we need to find the ratio of the quantity of each fruit sold to the total quantity of fruits sold.

The total number of fruits sold is 25 + 45 + 30 = <<25+45+30=100>>100.

The proportion of oranges sold is 25/100 = 1/4.

The proportion of bananas sold is 45/100 = 9/20.

The proportion of cashews sold is 30/100 = 3/10.

Therefore, the proportion of oranges, bananas, and cashews sold for the day is 1/4, 9/20, and 3/10, respectively.
