Brogan has two apple trees and goes to harvest them. The first tree is 40% red and 60% green. The second tree is 50% red and 50% green. If they each produce 20 apples, how many red apples does he get? Give me reasons, before answering the question
The first tree gives him 8 red apples because 20 x .4 = 8. The second tree gives him 10 red apples because 20 x .5 = 10. He gets 18 red apples because 10 + 8 = 18. So the final answer is 18.
