Question

The shopkeeper sells 40% of his total apples and still 420 remains. find the total no. of apples

Answer 1

Sold 40% so
He is remaining with 100-40 = 60% of apples
Let total apples = x

60/100 of x = 420
X = (420 * 100) / 60
X = 700

Answer 2

Given :

A fruit seller had some apples. He sells 4O% apples and still has 320 apples.

To find :

How many apples did he originally have?

Using formula :

★ Number of originally the fruit seller have = Number of apples left/Percentage of apples didn't sell × 100.

Calculations :

We know that, in a sum of overall 100% of apples he sells 40% of apples so we have to find the number of percentage he didn't sold.

→ 100% - 40%

→ 60% [He didn't sell]

Solution :

→ 420/60 × 100

→ 7 × 100

→ 700 apples

Therefore, the number of apples he original have is 700 apples.
