Out of 800 oranges, 50 are rotten. Find the percentage of good oranges.

Answer 1

Step: Finding the percentage of good oranges

Given:

Total number of oranges = 800
Number of rotten oranges = 50

Number of good oranges = Total number of oranges - Number of rotten oranges = 800 - 50

$\text{Percentage of good oranges =}$
$\frac{\text{Number of good oranges}}{\text{Total number of oranges}}\times 100$

$=\frac{750}{800}\times 100$

$=\frac{750}{8}$

$=93.75$

Hence, the percentage of good oranges $93.75\%$
