Question

A shopkeeper sells garments. He sold 40% of the garments in a week and still had 200 garments in the shop. find the initial no of garments.
options: 337,333,329,335

Answer 1

Answer:

333

Step-by-step explanation:

let initial no. of garments be x

he sold 40% of garments

I.e. 40x/100

therefore remaining garments = x - 40x/100

200=x-40x/100

200=100x-40x/100

200=60x/100

200×100=60x

20000=60x

20000/60=x

333.3=x

thus

x is approximately equal to 333
