Clark collected 200 fruits from his orchard. 56 of the fruits were durians and the rest were mangoes. What percentage of the fruits were mangoes?

72%

Step-by-step explanation:

200 -56 = 144

Take the number of mangoes over the total

144/200

.72

72%

72%

Step-by-step explanation:

If 56 of the 200 fruits were durians, then of the fruits were mangoes. Therefore, 144 of the fruits were mangoes.

Now we can set up a percentage proportion to find what percent of 200 144 is.

Multiply the cross values and divide by the value thats diagonal to the variable.

So, the answer is 72%

Hope this helped!

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
