(60/100)x = 420.
Therefore, x = 420*100/60 = 700.
Therefore, x = 420*100/60 = 700.

100%-40%=60%,
= (420/60)*100,
= (7)*100,
= 700.
= (420/60)*100,
= (7)*100,
= 700.

Let x be the apples.
x*40/100 = x-420.
x = 700.
x*40/100 = x-420.
x = 700.

60% apple is remaining thus;
420/0.6= 700.
420/0.6= 700.

420/60 = 7.
40 * 7 = 280,
280 + 420 = 700.
40 * 7 = 280,
280 + 420 = 700.

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

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

60% = 420,
1% = 7,
So
100% = 700 ans.
1% = 7,
So
100% = 700 ans.

X×60/100 = 420.
X = 4200/60,
= 700.
X = 4200/60,
= 700.
