Question

There are 15 pieces of fruit in a bowl and 6 of them are apples. What percentage of the pieces of fruit in the bowl are apples? Show all of your work. Use the percent proportion model shown below to set up the equation before you calculate the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount is 15

6 out of the 15 amount are apples

Thus, 6/15 x 100 = 40%

Or

You could ask yourself, what number do I multiply by 15 to get to 100?

Then, multiply the top (numerator) by it.

The value of the numerator will give you the final % (percentage) due to percentage being out of 100.

Hope this helps!
