Question

A basket has 120 fruits, out of which 50% are bananas, 20 are apples, and rest are oranges. What percentage of the fruits are oranges?

• A. 33.33%
• B. 40%
• C. 32%
• D. 30%

Answer 1

The correct option is A 33.33%

Total number of fruits = 120
Number of bananas = 50% of 120
$=\frac{50}{100}\times 120$
= 60
Given, number of apples = 20
Therefore,
No. of oranges
= Total no. of fruits - (No. of bananas + No. of apples)
= 120 - (60 + 20)
= 120 - 80
= 40
$\therefore$ Percentage of oranges = $\frac{40}{120}\times$ 100
$\Rightarrow$ Percentage of oranges = 33.33%
