Answer 2

The number of mangoes are $8000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

If $17 percentage$ of a certain number of mangoes is equal to $1360$

Let,

The number of mangoes are $x$

Then,

$17 percentage$ of $x$ mangoes,

$=\frac{17}{100} \times x$

∴ $\frac{17}{100} \times x=1360$

⇒$x=1360 \times \frac{100}{17}$

⇒$x=\frac{136000}{17}$

∴ $x=8000$

So, The number of mangoes are $8000$
