There are 50 fruits, and 35 of them are Apples. Apples are how much percent more than the other fruits?

Why answer is [spoiler]133.33%[/spoiler]?

There are 15 other fruits.

Percentage = Difference/Other fruits x 100
= 35-15/15 x 100
= 20/15 x 100
= 133.33%


I don't like the wording of the question. It sort of makes sense but could have been written better. Is this the exact question?
