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

420 = 60%.
100% = 420/.60.
700 => answer.
100% = 420/.60.

If 60% = 420.
Then, find the total.
Given, 60% = 420( cary percentage to the right will become the denominator multiplied by 100.
Then, total = 420/60 X 100.
= 7 *100
= 700.

Let's initially, we have 100%.
40 % sell remains 60%, according to question still remains.
So, a value of 60 is given 420.
60รท420.
1-7.
100% = 700.
40 % sell remains 60%, according to question still remains.
So, a value of 60 is given 420.
60รท420.
1-7.
100% = 700.

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

Total cp 100.
he sell 40%.
100-40 = 60 he has;
60 value in question 420 and then.
420/60 =7 and total cp 100*7 = 700 answer.
he sell 40%.
100-40 = 60 he has;
60 value in question 420 and then.
420/60 =7 and total cp 100*7 = 700 answer.

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

Let us assume
x=100.
Apples sailed by seller =40.
left apples =420,
Therefore,
100 - 40 = 60.
60%420 = 252.
252 + 420 = 672.
x=100.
Apples sailed by seller =40.

60%420 = 252.
252 + 420 = 672.

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

x = 700.
Total Apples = 700.
