20 % of apples are not ripe
Solution:
Georgie has a bushel basket of apples to sell at her fruit stand
1 out of every 5 can not be sold because they are not ripe yet
To find: percent of her apples that are not ripe
From given statement,
1 out of every 5 is not sold because it is not riped yet
So, 1 out of evry 5 apples are not riped
The fraction is given as:
[tex]\text{Apples that are not ripe } = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
We have to find the percent of apples that are not ripe
Percentage is given as:
[tex]\text{Percent of apples that are not ripe} = \text{apples that are ripe } \times 100\\\\\text{Percent of apples that are not ripe} = \frac{1}{5} \times 100 = 20 \%[/tex]
Thus 20 % of apples are not ripe
