    Question

    Quantity 1: A basket contains 30 apples, of which 20%

    are bad. If 15 more good apples are added, what is the total number of good apples in the basket now? Quantity 2: If 20% of the total apples (after addition) are bad, how many bad apples are there now?
    A Quantity 1 > Quantity 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Quantity 1 < Quantity 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Quantity 1 = Quantity 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Quantity 1 ≤ Quantity 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Quantity 1 ≥ Quantity 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Bad apples in the original basket = 20% of 30 = 6. Good apples = 30 - 6 = 24. After adding 15 good apples: 24 + 15 = 39 good apples. Total apples now = 30 + 15 = 45. Bad apples = 20% of 45 = 9  Thus, Quantity 1 > Quantity 2. Answer: a) Quantity 1 > Quantity 2
