vincenzo went apple picking of the 34 apples he picked, 4 turned out bad how can vincenzo calculate the percentage of apples that were bad

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage of bad apples, Vincenzo 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 Vincenzo's case:

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

Plugging in the numbers:

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

Now, performing the calculation:

1. \( \frac{4}{34} \approx 0.1176 \)
2. \( 0.1176 \times 100 \approx 11.76 \)

So, the percentage of apples that were bad is approximately 11.76%.
