To calculate the percentage of bad apples, Vincenzo needs to divide the number of bad apples by the total number of apples picked and then multiply by 100.
Number of bad apples: 4
Total number of apples: 34
Percentage of bad apples = (number of bad apples / total number of apples) * 100
Percentage of bad apples = (4 / 34) * 100
Percentage of bad apples = 0.1176 * 100
Percentage of bad apples = 11.76%
Therefore, the percentage of apples that were bad is 11.76%.
Vincenzo went apple picking. Of the 34 apples he picked, 4 turned out to be bad. How can Vincenzo calculate the percentage of apples that were bad?
