The total number of fruits in the basket is 10 (bananas) + 5 (mangoes) + 5 (apples) = 20 fruits.
The probability of selecting an apple or a banana = (number of apples + number of bananas) / total number of fruits = (10 + 5) / 20 = 15 / 20 = 0.75.
In percent form, this is 0.75 * 100% = 75%.
Therefore, the correct answer is 75%.
