A basket of fruits contains 10 bananas, 5 mangoes, and 5 apples. A fruit is selected at random. Calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana. Express the answer in percent form.(1 point)
A. 75%
B. 62.5%
C. 12.5%
D. 0
Step 1: Calculate the total number of fruits in the basket.
Total number of fruits = 10 bananas + 5 mangoes + 5 apples
= 20 fruits
Step 2: Calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana.
Probability = (Number of desired outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes)
Number of desired outcomes = Number of apples + Number of bananas
= 5 apples + 10 bananas
= 15 desired outcomes
Probability = 15 / 20
= 0.75
Step 3: Convert the probability to percent form.
0.75 * 100% = 75%
Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple or a banana is 75% (Option A).
