To determine the percentage of the total amount Raina spent on fruit, we use the formula for percentage:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Total}} \right) \times 100
\]

In this case:
- The part spent on fruit is $10.
- The total amount spent is $50.

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{10}{50} \right) \times 100 = 20\%
\]

Raina spent **20%** of her total on fruit.
