Question

A fruit seller had some apples He sell 40% of them and still has 420 apples find the number of he had originally





​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assume that the fruit seller had 100 apples initially.

He sell 40% of them =40 apples

Let out apples =(100−40)=60

In initial amount of apples if 60 of them are remaining =100

In initial amount of apples if 1 of them is remaining =(100/60)

In initial amount of apples if 420 of them are remaining =(100/60)×(420)

=(100×7)

=700

∴ the fruit seller had 700 apples.

Answer 2

Answer:

Assume that the fruit seller had 100 apples initially.

He sell 40% of them =40 apples 

Let out apples =(100−40)=60

In initial amount of apples if 60 of them are remaining =100

In initial amount of apples if 1 of them is remaining =(100/60)

In initial amount of apples if 420 of them are remaining =(100/60)×(420)

=(100×7)

=700

∴ the fruit seller had 700 apples.
