Solution

To find the approximate percentage of green apples in the bag, we need to calculate the ratio of green apples to the total number of apples and then multiply it by 100.

Step 1: Calculate the total number of apples in the bag. The bag contains 6 green apples and 8 red apples, so the total number of apples is 6 + 8 = 14.

Step 2: Calculate the ratio of green apples to the total number of apples. The ratio of green apples to the total number of apples is 6/14.

Step 3: Multiply the ratio by 100 to find the percentage. To find the percentage, we multiply the ratio by 100: (6/14) * 100 = 42.857142857142854.

Therefore, the approximate percentage of green apples in the bag is approximately 42.86%.
