45/100*x=30/100*90=30/100*210
9x/20+27=63
9x/20=63-27
x=(36*20)/9
x=80
9x/20+27=63
9x/20=63-27
x=(36*20)/9
x=80

60% = 420.
3/5 = 420.
1=420÷3 = 140.
Then total apple 140 * 5 = 700.
3/5 = 420.
1=420÷3 = 140.
Then total apple 140 * 5 = 700.

Remaining apple = 60%.
60% = 420.
100% = ?
So, (100*420)/60 = 700.
60% = 420.
100% = ?
So, (100*420)/60 = 700.

if 420+40%=100%
then 420=60%
hence 420 *40 / 60 = 280
420+280=700
then 420=60%
hence 420 *40 / 60 = 280
420+280=700

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

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

60% = 420,
100% = x,
Cross Multiply;
x = 420 * 100/60,
x = 700.
100% = x,
Cross Multiply;
x = 420 * 100/60,
x = 700.

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