A shopkeeper bought 600 oranges and 400 bananas. He found 15% of oranges and 8% of bananas were rotten. Find the percentage of fruits in good condition.
Explanation:
Total number of fruits shopkeeper bought = 600 + 400 = 1000
Number of rotten oranges = 15% of 600
= 15/100 × 600 = 9000/100 = 90
Number of rotten bananas = 8% of 400
= 8/100 × 400 = 3200/100 = 32
Therefore, total number of rotten fruits = 90 + 32 = 122
Therefore Number of fruits in good condition = 1000 - 122 = 878
Therefore Percentage of fruits in good condition = (878/1000 × 100)%
= (87800/1000)% = 87.8%
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
