Question

A fruit seller had some apples he sells 40% of

Answer 1

60% of x= 420 60/100x = 420 60x = 42000 x = 42000/60 = 700 So he had 700 apples in total

Or

Let the total number of apples be x Given 40% are sold and 420 apples are left That is 60% of apples = 420 Hence (60/100) × x = 420 ∴x = 420 × (100/60) = 700 Thus there are a total of 700 apples with the fruit seller.

Hope its helpful.
