A basket at a Lucknow fruit stall holds 96 guavas, some of them unripe. The probability that a guava picked at random is unripe is 3/8. How many RIPE guavas are in the basket?

Question

Accepted Answer

60. Unripe guavas = 96 × 3/8 = 36, so ripe guavas = 96 - 36 = 60. Answer 36 gives the unripe count that the question does not ask for; 64 uses 96 × 2/3; 12 divides 96 by 8 and stops.

A basket at a Lucknow fruit stall holds 96 guavas, some of them unripe. The probability that a guava picked at random is unripe is $\frac{3}{8}$ . How many RIPE guavas are in the basket?
