A basket contains 260 apples . If 15% of the apples were rotten , find the number of apples that were good enough to be sold.
Given:
A basket contains 260 apples
15% of the apples were rotten
To do: Find the number of apples that were good enough to be sold.
Solution:
Total number of apples are 260.
Amount of apples that are rotten are 15%
Therefore, $15% \times 260$
$\frac{15}{100}\times260$
$\frac{15}{10}\times26$
$\frac{15\times26}{10}$
$\frac{390}{10}$
$39$
