Question

In a basket of apples 20% are rotten and 712 are found good. Find the total number of apples in the basket.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of apples in the basket be m

20% of the apples are rotten, and apples in good condition are 712

∴, according to the question,

80% of m=712

88/100 ×m=712

⇒m=712*100 /88

⇒m== 809
