• A. 30%
• B. 35%
• C. 33.33%

Answer 1

The correct option is C

33.33%

Fraction of apples = $\frac{\text{Number of apples}}{\text{Total number of fruits in the bag}}$

So, fraction of apples = $\frac{10}{30}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

$\therefore$ Percentage of apples = $\frac{1}{3}$ $\times$ 100 = 33.33%
