Answer 2

Answer:

50 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of apples he ate

He sold 40% more than he ate .

So, Number of apples sold = $x+40\% \times x$

                                              = $x+\frac{40}{100}x$  

                                              = $\frac{140}{100}x$  

Since we are given that he sold 70 apples

So, $\frac{140}{100}x=70$  

$x=70 \times \frac{100}{140}$  

$x=50$  

So, Option B is true

Hence he ate 50 apples .
