Vincenzo went apple picking of the 34 apples he picked four turned out to be bad how can Vincenzo calculated 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

Now, plug the values 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 \(100\): \[ 0.1176 \times 100 \approx 11.76 \]

So, the percentage of bad apples is approximately \(11.76%\).
