Answer 1

Question :-

In a basket of apples, 12% of them are rotten and 66 are in good condition. Find the total number of apples in the basket ??

Answer :-

Let the total number of apples in the basket be m

12 % of the apples are rotten, and apples in good condition are 66

Therefore, according to the question,

88% of m = 66

⟹ 88/100 × m = 66

⟹ m = (66 × 100)/88

⟹ m = 3 × 25

⟹ m = 75

Therefore, total number of apples in the basket is 75.

hence our required answer is 75.
