A fruit seller had some apples.he selles 60% apples & still has 220 apples originally he had?

Answer 1

Answer :-

Let fruit seller had x apples.

According to Question

$\sf \: x - 60\% \: \: of \: x = 220 \\ \\ \sf \rightarrow\: x - 60 \times \frac{x}{100} = 220 \\ \\ \sf \: \rightarrow \: x - 0.6x = 220 \\ \\ \sf \rightarrow \: 0.4x = 220 \\ \\ \sf \rightarrow \: x = \frac{220}{0.4} \\ \\ \sf \rightarrow \: x =550$

Hence he had 550 apples.

0.4

220

→x=550

Hence he had 550 apples.
