Suppose.
Assume sum=100% of x apples.
Already he sells off 40% x apples.
Then we have to do (100 - 40) % of x = 60% of x.
Now 60/100 of x = 420 (when and/is given we have to take '=' operator).
3/5 of x =420.
3x =420 * 5
3x =2100.
x =700.

APPLES SOLD = 40%
SO REMAINING APPLES = 60%
60% of 420 then 100% of ?
So, 100*420/(60)
ANS: 700 APPLES
SO REMAINING APPLES = 60%
60% of 420 then 100% of ?
So, 100*420/(60)
ANS: 700 APPLES

So he left with 60% apple which are 420.
60% = 420.
1% = 420/60.
100% = 420/60*100 = 700 answer.
60% = 420.
1% = 420/60.
100% = 420/60*100 = 700 answer.

40% sale.
100% = ?
60% = 420.
1% = 420/60.
1% = 7.
So 100% = 7*100.
100% = 700.
100% = ?
60% = 420.
1% = 420/60.
1% = 7.
So 100% = 7*100.
100% = 700.

40% sell and 40/100*700 = 280.

Let total apple be 'x'.
x*60/100 = 420.
x = 420*100/600 = 700.
x*60/100 = 420.
x = 420*100/600 = 700.

Easy way this type of questions.
100%-40% = 60%.
60%-420.
100%-?
When 100*420/60 = 700 answer.
100%-40% = 60%.
60%-420.
100%-?
When 100*420/60 = 700 answer.

Apple sold 40%.
So remaining apple = 100-40.
So, 60% and given in question that
60% = 420.
60/100 = 420.
So result is = 700 apple.
So remaining apple = 100-40.
So, 60% and given in question that
60% = 420.
60/100 = 420.
So result is = 700 apple.

In simple way.
Question given to us-:
Fruit seller sales 40% apples & remaining he has 420 apples that is (100-40)60%.
There is need to find out 1% apples=?
Hence 1% apples = 7 apples (420/60).
So 40% apples = 280 apples (40x7).
Hence total apples = 700 apples (280+420).

If Original apple is 'x'.
100%-40% = 60%apple is 420 apple.
So x = 420/60 = 7 apple is per 1%.
Then 100% apple is = 7*100 = 700 apple.
100%-40% = 60%apple is 420 apple.
So x = 420/60 = 7 apple is per 1%.
Then 100% apple is = 7*100 = 700 apple.
