Question

A fruit seller has 220 apples out of which he found that $25\%$ of the apples are stale. Find the number of stale apples.

• A. 40
• B. 44
• C. 55
• D. 64

Answer 1

The correct option is C 55

Total apples the fruit seller had = $220$
Percentage of stale apples = 25 %
∴ Number of stale apples = $25\%of220$
= $\frac{25}{100}\times 220$
= $\frac{1}{4}\times 220$
= $55$ apples
