60% remaining --> 420 apples (given).
1% ---> 7 apples (by unitary method).
100% ---> 100*7 = 700 apples.

@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.

Total = 100%.
Sell apples = 40%.
Balance 60%.
60%= 420.
100=x (cross Multiplication).
x * 60 = 100 * 420,
x = 700.
Total Apples = 700.
Sell apples = 40%.
Balance 60%.
60%= 420.
100=x (cross Multiplication).
x * 60 = 100 * 420,
x = 700.
Total Apples = 700.

(100-40%) = 60%.
Now
=> 60% = 420.
= 420/60 * 100,
= 700answer.
Now
=> 60% = 420.
= 420/60 * 100,
= 700answer.

Suppose he has x apples.
He has sold 40% and the remaining apples are 420.
40% apples = total apple - remaining apple.
= x - 420.
x - 420 = 40/100 * x.
x = 700.
He has sold 40% and the remaining apples are 420.
40% apples = total apple - remaining apple.
= x - 420.
x - 420 = 40/100 * x.
x = 700.

60% = 420.
100%=?
For calculating 10% 420/60= 7
So, 100% is 700.

40% = 2:5.
In this question 5(total):3(remaining).
3---->420;
Then 1--->140.
Total is 5.
5x140=700.

He sells 40%, remaining 60% = 420.
Let the total number of apples be x.
60% of x = 420,
(60/100)*x =420,
x = 700.
