Question

It is known that 20% of the mangoes are rotten. If the number of rotten mangoes is 35, then the total number of mangoes is:

Answer 1

let the total no of mangoes be x. 20% of x=20/100×x. it's given that total no of rotten mangoes r 35. Therefore, 20/100×x=35. x=35×100/20 =175

Answer 2

Answer:

175

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of mangoes be x

We are given that 20 % of mangoes are rotten

So, no. of rotten mangoes = $\frac{20}{100}x$

We are also given that the number of rotten mangoes is 35.

So, $\frac{20}{100}x=35$

$x=\frac{35 \times 100 }{20}$

$x=175$

So, the total number of mangoes is 175
