Three-fourths of the fruits in a basket are peaches, and one-tenth of the remaining fruits are plums. If the rest are apples, what percent of the fruits in the basket are apples?
A. 7%
B. 15.5%
C. 22.5%
D. 25.5%
E. 30%
Three-fourths is 75%. So, 75% of the fruits are peaches.
Of the remaining 25%, one-tenth are plums. So, 2.5% of the fruits are plums.
Now, 100 - 75 - 2.5 = 22.5. So, 22.5% of the fruits are apples.
