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 :
→ 320/60 × 100
→ 5.33 × 100
→ 533 apples
Therefore, the number of apples he original have is 533 apples.
Know more :
- Total number of apples = 533.
- Number of apples not sold = 320.
- Number of apples sold = 213.
