a fruit seller still has 420 apples after he sold 40% of his apple how many apple he had in all
Answers
Answer:
700 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
If he had total "x" apples then
x = (40% of x) + 420
x = (40/100 × x) + 420
x = 0.4x + 420
x - 0.4x = 420
0.6x = 420
x = 420/0.6
x = 420 × 10/6
x = 70 × 10
x = 700
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 :
→ 420/60 × 100
→ 7 × 100
→ 700 apples
Therefore, the number of apples he original have is 700 apples.
