Question

A potato seller sells 70% pf the total potato and still has 150 kg potato left with him .find the weight of potato he had originally in learn

Answer 1

Let he has x kg of potato with him intially

He sold 70% of the potato

so, he sold 70 % of x = 0.70x

so, the potato left = x - 0.70x = 0.30x

As 0.30x =150 kg

so, x = 150/0.30 = 500 kg

So, he originally had 500 kg of potato.

Answer 2

Answer:

500kg

Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge\bold\purple{Solution}$

30% =150 kg

let the total weight be x

30% of x =150 kg

$\frac{30}{100} \times x = 150$

$x = 150 \times \frac{10}{3}$

$x = 50 \times 10$

$x = 500kg$
