As he sold 40% apples out of 100%.
It means he now has 60% apples, which are 240.
now 60/100 = 0.6.
240/0.6 = 700.
700 apples.

All apples = 100%
Sold = 40%
The remaining apples 60% which is 420 apples.
So, if 60% is 420 then how much will be 1% we have to find for that we have to do:-
420/60 = 7
7 = 1%.
7 apples means 1%.
So, multiply it like this 7×40%= 280.
We found the answer of 40% which is 280.
60% apples = 420.
40% apples = 280.
420+280 = 700.
100% apples = 700.
Sold = 40%
The remaining apples 60% which is 420 apples.
So, if 60% is 420 then how much will be 1% we have to find for that we have to do:-
420/60 = 7
7 = 1%.
7 apples means 1%.
So, multiply it like this 7×40%= 280.
We found the answer of 40% which is 280.
60% apples = 420.
40% apples = 280.
420+280 = 700.
100% apples = 700.

60% is 420 then,
1% is 420/60/100 = 700.
1% is 420/60/100 = 700.

The original apple x.
40% selled
420 apples left
100%-40% = 60%,
So, 420 is 60%.
60% of x = 420,
60/100 * x = 420,
3/5 * x = 420,
x = 420 * 5/3,
x = 700.
The answer is 700 apples.
40% selled
420 apples left
100%-40% = 60%,
So, 420 is 60%.
60% of x = 420,
60/100 * x = 420,
3/5 * x = 420,
x = 420 * 5/3,
x = 700.
The answer is 700 apples.

@All
Total apple = 100%
sold = 40%
Remaining = 60% = 420,
Now, calculate 1 % of 420 = 420/60 = 7.
40 * 7 = 280.
Then, the total apple he had = 480 + 280 = 700.
Total apple = 100%
sold = 40%

420/x * 100 = 60,
420/x = 3/5,
420.5 = 3.x,
2100 = 3.x,
2100/3 = x,
700 = x.
420/x = 3/5,
420.5 = 3.x,
2100 = 3.x,
2100/3 = x,
700 = x.

60% = 420,
100% = x,
Cross multiple:
x= 420 * 100/60,
= 700.
100% = x,
Cross multiple:
x= 420 * 100/60,
= 700.

@All.
Total (%) = 100%,
Shelling(%) = 40%,
Balance (%) = 60% = 420.
60% = 420.
30% = 210
10% = 70
40% -> 30% + 10% = 280
40% + 60% = 280 + 420 = 700
280 apples sold and remain 420 apples.
So, total 700 apples.
Total (%) = 100%,
Shelling(%) = 40%,
Balance (%) = 60% = 420.
60% = 420.
30% = 210
10% = 70
40% -> 30% + 10% = 280
40% + 60% = 280 + 420 = 700
280 apples sold and remain 420 apples.
So, total 700 apples.
