Answer:

45% of the mangoes are bad.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of mangoes in basket = 40

Number of good mangoes = 22

Number of bad mangoes = Total mangoes - Good mangoes

Number of bad mangoes = 40-22

Number of bad mangoes = 18

Percent of bad mangoes =
$(bad\ mangoes)/(total\ mangoes)*100$

Percent of bad mangoes =
(18)/(40)*100

Percent of bad mangoes = 0.45*100 = 45%

Hence,

45% of the mangoes are bad.
