Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He has 576 mangoes left.

This 576 is 40% of the original number. Since he has already sold 60%.

Let the original number of mangoes be X

Then, 40% of X = 576

(40/100) X = 576

0.4 X = 576

On dividing both sides with 0.4 we get :

X = 576 / 0.4

On solving,

X = 1440

The seller originally had 1440 Mangoes
