We know that there are 300 oranges total and that 75 are bad. That means that the rest are good (implied).
300 - 75 = 225 good oranges.
So to find the percentage we have to take the selected amount divided by the total amount.
Bad Apples: Good Apples:
75 / 300 = 0.25 225/300 = 0.75
However, that's a decimal or <em>a number out of 1, </em>we need a percent or <em>a number out of 100.</em> So we have to multiply both numbers by 100.
