There are a total of 10 + 5 + 5 = 20 fruits in the basket.
The probability of selecting an apple is 5/20 = 1/4.
The probability of selecting a banana is 10/20 = 1/2.
The probability of selecting an apple or a banana is the sum of the individual probabilities:
1/4 + 1/2 = 3/4
Converting 3/4 to a percentage:
3/4 * 100% = 75%
Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple or a banana is 75%.
