Given, 13% were rotten that means remaining oranges = 100% - 13% = 87.
Given, Oranges gave in charity = 75% of the remaining
= 75% of 87
= 75/100 * 87
= 6525/100
= 65.25
New remaining oranges will be = 87% - 65.25%
= 21.75%.
Given, there are still has 522 oranges left, the oranges he had brought
= 100 * 100/21.75 * 522
= 2400.
Hope this helps!
