Question

a fruit seller had some oranges he sells 40% of them and still has 600
oranges find the number of oranges he had originally

Answer 1

Answer:

1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of oranges sold = 40%

Percentage of oranges left = 100 - 40 = 60%

Find the number of oranges he had originally:

60% = 600

1% = 600 ÷ 60 = 10

100% = 10 x 100 = 1000

Answer: He had 1000 oranges originally.

Answer 2

40%

100-40=60%

100%

60%=600

1%=600/60=10

100X10=1000
