LET THE NUMBER Of APPLES BE X
%age of bad apples = 25%
%age of good apples = 100%-25%
=75%
total apples = 75/100 of x = 30
= 40
good apples = 75/100 of 40
= 30
%age of bad apples = 25%
%age of good apples = 100%-25%
=75%
total apples = 75/100 of x = 30
= 40
good apples = 75/100 of 40
= 30

i think it is correct as you mentioned good apples are 30
But they are asking for apples before.
total apples?????
Question is saying Find the number of good apples kept in the basket previously.
its 40
Sorry i told u ₹360 it is 39
But i m not understanding why it is coming 40.
see total apples we supposed x
then we have to balance on both sides of equal to sign
Ok now i must discuss it with my teacher.

see...25% apple is bad..means 75% is good and is equals to 30..so 100% will be 40, And removing the bad one it will be 39
