Need to know how to do this problem.

Question

70% apples

5% bananas

5% Coconut

20% Grape (Turns to 0 %)

What would be the new percentages after getting rid of Grapes for Apples, Bananas, and Coconut keeping the equivalent previous allocation?

Answer 1

7/8 apples = 0.875 = 87.5%

remaining 1/8 divided by 2 = 1/16 each for bananas and coconuts)

0.125/2 = 0.0625 = 6.25% bananas and 6.25% coconuts

they have to sum to 100%

70/(70+5+5) = 70/80 = 7/8 for A

5/(70+5+5) = 5/80 = 1/16 for B and C

0 for G

Isn't there a fruit that starts with D? or E or F. You jumped to G, skipping 3 letters.
