Question

a potato seller sells 70percentage of the total potatoes and still has 150kg potatoes left with him. Find the weight of potatoes he had originally

Answer 1

out of 100% 150kg potatoes are 30% so 50kg potatoes will be actually 10% .50 x 10=500.hence the potato seller was having 500kg potatoes with him originally

Answer 2

$\huge\bold\purple{Solution}$

30% =150 kg

let the total weight be x

30% of x =150 kg

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

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

$x = 50 \times 10$

$x = 500kg$
