Question

45% of the fruit on a table are apples and the rest are oranges. What is the probability that a piece of randomly selected fruit from the table is not an apple

Answer 1

If 45% of the fruit on a table are apples, then 55% of the fruit are oranges (since the total percentage must add up to 100%).

The probability of selecting a piece of fruit that is not an apple is equal to the percentage of oranges on the table, which is 55%.

Therefore, the probability of selecting a piece of fruit that is not an apple is 55%.
