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.

A fruit seller sell 40% apples and the remaining apples are 420.
So, here 100% of apples he sell 40% apples then he had the remaining 60% of apples.( 100-40=60)
60% ----> 420
100%---->x
x = 420*100/60
x = 700
or;
60%----> 420
40%--->x.
x = 420*40/60,
x = 280 (280 apples sold)
Then total apples 280+420 = 700.
So, here 100% of apples he sell 40% apples then he had the remaining 60% of apples.( 100-40=60)
60% ----> 420
100%---->x
x = 420*100/60
x = 700
or;
60%----> 420
40%--->x.
x = 420*40/60,
x = 280 (280 apples sold)
Then total apples 280+420 = 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.
left apples =420,
Therefore,
100 - 40 = 60.
60%420 = 252.
252 + 420 = 672.

It's very simple,
Suppose he had 'x' apples,
Here x = 420.
Then (100 - 40)% = 60%.
Now required solution,
60/100 *x= 420,
x = (420 *100/60) = 700.
HOPE THIS WILL HELP!

The original apple x.
40% selled
420 apples left
100%-40% = 60%,
So, 420 is 60%.
60% of x = 420,
60/100 * x = 420,
3/5 * x = 420,
x = 420 * 5/3,
x = 700.
The answer is 700 apples.

The answer is 700 apples.

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.

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

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