Vicenzo sentido Apple picking. Of the 34 apples he picked, 4 turned out to be Bad. How can vinenzo calculate the percentage of apples that were bad?

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage of bad apples Vicenzo picked, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Percentage of bad apples} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of bad apples}}{\text{Total number of apples}} \right) \times 100 \]

In Vicenzo's case:

• Number of bad apples = 4
• Total number of apples = 34

Now plug these numbers into the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage of bad apples} = \left( \frac{4}{34} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating that:

1. Divide 4 by 34: \[ \frac{4}{34} \approx 0.1176 \]

2. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: \[ 0.1176 \times 100 \approx 11.76 \]

So, approximately 11.76% of the apples Vicenzo picked were bad.
