Question

a fruit vendor stored 420 watermelons. out of these 10%turned rotten due to heat. how many watermelons could the fruit vendor sell?

Answer 1

Hi friend
-------------
Your answer
--------------------

Number of watermelons stored by a vendor = 420

Percentage of watermelons that were rotten = 10%

Then,
----------

Number of rotten watermelons = 10% of 420

= (10/100 × 420)

= 42

Therefore,
------------------

Number of watermelons that can be sold = (420 - 42) = 378

HOPE IT HELPS

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathbb{\red{GIVEN:-}}}}}$

• No. of stored watermelons = 420
• Percentage of watermelons ghar are rotten due to heat = 10%

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathbb{\red{TO\:FIND:-}}}}}$

How many watermelons could the fruit vendor sell = ?

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathbb{\red{SOLUTION:-}}}}}$

We have given that, total no. of watermelons = 420

∴ 10% of these watermelons are rotten due to heat

∴ No. of rotten watermelons = 10% of 420

$\rm{Rotten\:Watermelons=}$$\large{\bf {\frac{10}{100}}}$ $\times$ 420

$\rm\green{Rotten\:Watermelons=}$ $\bf\green{42}$

∴ No. of rotten watermelons = 42

No. of watermelons which can be sold :-

$\rm\blue{Total\: watermelons - rotten\: watermelons}$

$\implies$ $\bf{420-42}$

$\implies$ $\large\bf\green{378 }$

$\large{\underline{\underline{\mathbb{\red{FINAL\: ANSWER:-}}}}}$

Thus, the no. of watermelons , that are capable of selling = 378

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\mathrm{\blue{Watermelons \:can\:be\:sold= 378 }}}}}$
