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` × x = 420

⇒ x = `((420xx100)/60)`

= 700
