Question

A fruit seller had some apples. He sells 40% apples and still has 420 apples. Originally, he had:

Options

• 588 apples

• 600 apples

• 672 apples

• 700 apples

Answer 1

700 apples

Explanation:

Suppose originally he had x apples.

Then, (100 – 40)% of x = 420.

⇒ `60/100 xx x` = 420

⇒ `x = ((420 xx 100)/60)`
