Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
- 60 good oranges are there in the basket.
- 20% of the oranges in a basket go bad.
To find :
- Total number of oranges in the basket.
Solution :
20% oranges god bad, so (100 - 20)% are good.
- 80%
80% = 60 (good oranges)
Total number of oranges: [x]
100% - 20% = 80%
60 = 80/100 × x
x = 60/0.8
∴ x = 75
∴ The total number of oranges in the basket are 75.
