The total number of apples and bananas in the basket is 10 (apples) + 5 (bananas) = 15.
The probability of selecting an apple or a banana = (Number of apples + Number of bananas) / Total number of fruits = 15 / (10 + 5 + 5) = 15 / 20 = 0.75 = 75%
So, the correct answer is 75%.
The probability of selecting an apple or a banana = (Number of apples + Number of bananas) / Total number of fruits = 15 / (10 + 5 + 5) = 15 / 20 = 0.75 = 75%
