a fruit seller had some apples he sells 40% apples and still has 420 apples how many apples did she have in the beginning
Answers
Answer:
672 apples he had in the beginning
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no of apples he had previously be x
He sold 40% of apples
now he has 420 apples = x + 420
Now, 100-40 % = 60 % apple he has now
=> x = 60% of 420
=> x = 60/100 * 420
=> x = 420*60/100
=> x = 25200/100
=> x = 252 apples he sold
=> now putting the value of x in equation
=> 252+420 = 672 apples he had in the beginning
Given :
A fruit seller had some apples. He sells 4O% apples and still has 320 apples.
To find :
How many apples did he originally have?
Using formula :
★ Number of originally the fruit seller have = Number of apples left/Percentage of apples didn't sell × 100.
Calculations :
We know that, in a sum of overall 100% of apples he sells 40% of apples so we have to find the number of percentage he didn't sold.
→ 100% - 40%
→ 60% [He didn't sell]
Solution :
→ 420/60 × 100
→ 7 × 100
→ 700 apples
Therefore, the number of apples he original have is 700 apples.
