Answer 1

Ahhh...first we need to find out the percentage of the oranges+the apples. then take it away from 100%.

I did a bit of tinkering and figured out that the orange percentage is 36% of it.

(
`(150)/(54) =(75)/(27) =36%`%)

That means that the apples are 48% and the pears are 100-(36+48)=100-84=16%

Answer 2

24%

Explanation:

150 = 54 + 72 = 126 + 24 = 150

24/100 = 24%
