Step-by-step explanation:

[In given problem the remaining 140 fruits are may be oranges]

Given data

A fruit seller had some fruits

he sells 30% oranges and still 140 mangoes are still there

here we need to find the number of fruits that the seller had  

⇒ Let x be the number of fruits that the seller had

⇒ the seller sells 30% of x fruits then the remaining fruits is 70% which is equals to 140

⇒  $\frac{70}{100} (x) = 140$

⇒ $x = \frac{140(100)}{70}$  

⇒ x = 200

⇒ the number of oranges that seller had is 200
