I think it is c, I could be wrong though
We can automatically see that we are dealing with a percent decrease because we are going from a smaller to a bigger number. We need to first find what percent of 140the number 84 is. to do this we can set up the following equation:
140/84=100/x (this equation is basically saying if 140 is 100(%) what would 84 be?)
solving for x here gives us x = (84 X 100)/140 = 60, so 84 is 60 percent of 140 which means 140 decreased by 40 percent.
Let me know if I can clear anything else up.
Ok so do 100 divided by 77 to get about 1.3% per fruit. then do 1.3 times 53 to get the current percent of oranges which is about 69% then do 84% minus 69% to get the difference then divide by 1.3 to get about 11.5 oranges so you round to 12 oranges. So 12+53 to get 65 total oranges to equal 84% of the 77 fruit in the box.
