50% of the fruits collected were ripe. If 100 fruits were ripe, find the total number of fruits collected.

200 fruits

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions states that 50% of the fruits were ripe, and that 100 fruits were ripe

Therefore: 100 = 50%

Which makes the total amount of fruits 200

Don't believe me? Reverse work:

200 / 2 = 100

200 = 100%, 100 = 50%

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
