40% of 50 is 20.
We know that 20 of the 50 are plums.
<u>^^^^ this is your answer</u>
below is just other bits of the problem
There's 30 fruit left.
We know that the ratio for peaches to apricots is 2:3.
If we add 2 and 3 together, we get five.
Five divides into 30 six times.
Meaning, we could have 18 apricots, and 12 peaches.
Add all of these numbers together, and you get 18 apricots, 12 peaches, and 20 plums.
18 + 12 + 20 = 50
