Answer 2

Answer:

sold units = 65% of total units

remained with him = 175

Explanation:

let the total number of units be x

65% of x + 175 = x

$\frac{65}{100} \times x + 175 = x$

$\frac{13x}{20} + 175 = x \\ x - \frac{13x}{20} = 175$

$\frac{20x-13x}{20}=175$

$\frac{7x}{20}=175$

x= 500

so the total number of units is 500
