a box contains 60 🍏's. if 1/5th of the apples were rotten, what precent of the 🍏's 🍎's are rotten.

1 answer

To find the percentage of rotten 🍏's, we need to first calculate the number of rotten apples.

1/5th of the apples are rotten, so we need to divide the total number of apples by 5:

60 🍏's / 5 = <<60/5=12>>12 rotten 🍏's

Now we can calculate the percentage of rotten apples by dividing the number of rotten apples by the total number of apples and multiplying it by 100:

(12 rotten 🍏's / 60 🍏's) * 100 = 20%

Therefore, 20% of the 🍏's are rotten.
