Question

Deepak bought a basket of mangoes containing 250 mangoes. 12% of these were found to be rotten. Of the remaining, 10% got crushed. How many mangoes were in good condition?

Answer 1

Out of 250 mangoes, 25% were rotten.
Therefore, remaining mangoes
= 250-(250×25/100)
= 250-30
= 220
Now out of 220 mangoes, 10% got crushed.
Therefore, remaining mangoes
= 220-(220×10/100)
= 220-22
= 198

Hence, 198 mangoes were in good condition.

Answer 2

THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS 198

EXPLANATION:

NUMBER OF MANGOES = 250

SO THE ROTTEN MANGOES = 12% OF 250

WE CAN WRITE IT AS

=250×12/100

=30

REMAINING MANGOES =250 -30 =220

WE KNOW THAT

MANGOES CRUSHED = 10% OF 220

WE CAN WRITE IT AS

=220×10/100

=22

SO THE BALANCE NUMBER OF MANGOES =220-22=198

THEREFORE, 198 MANGOES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION
