Solution

First, we need to find out how many bananas are in the basket. Since there are 200 fruits in total and 40 of them are apples, we subtract 40 from 200 to get 160. So, there are 160 bananas in the basket.

Next, we need to find out what percentage of the total number of fruits the bananas represent. To do this, we divide the number of bananas by the total number of fruits and multiply by 100.

So, the calculation is (160 / 200) * 100 = 80.

Therefore, 80% of the fruits are bananas.
