60 | x x = 420 |
| 100 |
| x = |

Let x is total apple
Since he sell 40% of total i.e. 40x/100
x-40x/100=420
6x=4200
x=700
Since he sell 40% of total i.e. 40x/100
x-40x/100=420
6x=4200
x=700

Apple sold 40%.
Remaining 60% = 420.
Then 1% apple are 420/60 = 7.
Then 100% = 7x100 = 700 answer.
Remaining 60% = 420.
Then 1% apple are 420/60 = 7.
Then 100% = 7x100 = 700 answer.

Hey aprna, your answer is wrong dear...right ans. 80
30% of 210=63
30% of 90=27
63=27+45% of x
45% f x=63-27=36
if 36=45 f x thn
36/45^100=80
30% of 210=63
30% of 90=27
63=27+45% of x
45% f x=63-27=36
if 36=45 f x thn
36/45^100=80

40% of apples are sold and still left with 420 apples
remaining=60%(100%-40%)
if remaining=420 apples, then it is also equal to 60%
therefore if 60%=420 apples
40%=? ratio and proportion
if less more divide
40/100 x 100/60(dividing 40% by 60%, and reciprocating it in the multiplication) x 420
=2/3 x 420= 280 here 280 only represent 40%
therefore whole apples(60%+40%)
280+420=700
remaining=60%(100%-40%)
if remaining=420 apples, then it is also equal to 60%
therefore if 60%=420 apples
40%=? ratio and proportion
if less more divide
40/100 x 100/60(dividing 40% by 60%, and reciprocating it in the multiplication) x 420
=2/3 x 420= 280 here 280 only represent 40%
therefore whole apples(60%+40%)
280+420=700

A simple solution:
ie. 40% sold means
Remaining 60%=420
Therefore 420/60=70 ie 10%
therefore 70*40%=280
ie 280+420=700 total apples.
ie. 40% sold means
Remaining 60%=420
Therefore 420/60=70 ie 10%
therefore 70*40%=280
ie 280+420=700 total apples.

40% apple sold
60% apple 420
therefore 40% apple = (420/60)*40 = 280
60% + 40% = 100%
420 + 280 = 700
60% apple 420
therefore 40% apple = (420/60)*40 = 280
60% + 40% = 100%
420 + 280 = 700
