Answer 1

Answer:

let the no. of mangoes in starting be x.

60/100×x=576

3/5×x=576

x=576×5/3

x=192×5=960 ans.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fruit seller had x mangoes originally.

Hence,

$60 \% \: of \: x \: + 576 = x \\ \implies \: \frac{60}{100} x + 576 = x \\ \implies \: 0.6x + 576 = x \\ \implies 576 = x - 0.6x \\ \implies 576 = 0.4x \\ \implies \: x = \frac{576}{0.4} = \frac{5760}{4} \\ \implies \: x = 1440$

Thus fruit seller had 1440 mangoes originally.
