Method I
The sum of all fractions should be 1
Fraction of oranges + fraction of mangoes + fraction of pears
=1Fraction of pears
=1 - (fraction of oranges + fraction of mangoes)
Fraction of pears
=1−(+)Fraction of pears
=1−()Fraction of pears
=1−()Fraction of pears
=1−()Every whole number is being divided by 1
1= Fraction of pears
=−Fraction of pears
=Fraction of pears
=Fraction of pears
=The whole fraction is
100%If
1=100%=×100%÷1Any number/fraction divided by 1 is the same number/fraction
=×100% Note:
1. 25 divides itself 1 time and 100, 4 times
2.
9×4=36=36%∴ Percentage of pears
=36% Method II
Find the percentage of oranges and mangoes and subtract the sum from
100%Percentage of oranges
The whole fraction is 1 which represents
100% Percentage of oranges
The whole fraction is 1 which represents
100% If 1=100%=×100%÷1 Note:
1. Any number/fraction divided by 1 is the same number/fraction
2. 5 divides itself 1 time and 100, 20 times
3.
2×20=40=40%∴ Percentage of the fruits which are oranges
=40%Percentage of mangoes
If 1 = 100\%
=×100%÷1 Note:
1. Any number/fraction divided by 1 is the same number/fraction
2. 25 divides itself 1 time and 100, 4 times
3.
6×4=24=24%∴ Percentage of the fruits which are mangoes
=24%Percentage of fruits which are pears
=100%−(40%+24%)Percentage of fruits which are pears
=100%−64%Percentage of fruits which are pears
