Question

from a box of 140 oranges 3\7 of the orange were sold and 1\14 were spoiled what is the number of orange left in the box?

Answer 1

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of oranges left in the box be x

The no. of oranges sold = 3/7 * 140

= 60

The no. of oranges sold = 1/14 * 140

= 10

ATQ

60 + 10 + x = 140

70 + x = 140

x = 140 - 70

x = 70

Therefore the no of oranges left in the box is 70
