A) 15% of the children have an apple. B) 45% of the children have an apple. C) 55% of the children have an apple. D) 85% of the children have an apple. E) None of these.
Explanation:
Let total number of children be 100,
Then, number of children who packed fruit = 60.
Number of those children with apples = 25% of 60 = 15.
Number of children eating at the cafeteria = 40.
Total number with an apple = 40 + 15=
