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)
12.5%
0
75%
62.5%
In this case, the total number of fruits in the basket is 10 + 5 + 5 = 20.
The probability of selecting an apple or a banana is calculated by adding the number of apples and bananas together, then dividing by the total number of fruits.
P(apple or banana) = (10 + 5) / 20 = 15 / 20 = 0.75
This probability can be expressed as a percentage by multiplying by 100.
0.75 x 100 = 75%
Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple or a banana is 75%.
The correct answer is 75%.
