Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Something missing in "noticed that of the apples."  Perhaps "that 40% of . . .?"

But I'll try to answer, using an example:  

Avery noticed that 30% of the apples in a basket are red. There are 45 red apples in the basket.

To find the total number of apples, X:

(0.30)X = 45

X = 150 apples total.  45, or 45/150, is 0.3 0r 30%.
