Question

Uncle Tan harvested 24.9 tons of pears. He found that 22.41 tons of the pears were rotten pears. What percent of the harvested pears are good pears?

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is 10%.
To find our answer we use the following formula:
$part / total \times 100 \%​$

The percentage of rotten pears is
$\frac{22.41}{24.9} \times 100\% = 90\%$

Therefore
$100\% - 90\% = 10\%$
Of the pears are good pears.
