Annabelle picked 65 apples at a local orchard. 40% of the apples were green apple. How many green apples did Annabelle pick? Show work.



Answer :

40% as a decimal = 0.4 so 65*0.4=26 green apples

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert 40% to a fraction and multiply it with 65 apples to get 40% of 65. We change 40% to a fraction:

[tex]=40/100=2/5[/tex]

Therefore 2/5 of 65:

[tex]=(2/5)\cdot{65}=2\cdot{13}=26[/tex]

26 of the 65 apples are green apples
