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

If Original apple is 'x'.
100%-40% = 60%apple is 420 apple.
So x = 420/60 = 7 apple is per 1%.
Then 100% apple is = 7*100 = 700 apple.
100%-40% = 60%apple is 420 apple.
So x = 420/60 = 7 apple is per 1%.
Then 100% apple is = 7*100 = 700 apple.

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.
100=x (cross Multiplication).
x * 60 = 100 * 420,
x = 700.
Total Apples = 700.

x=40/100[x+420]
10x=4x+1680
6x=1680
x=1680/6
x=280
So the original apple=x+420
=280+420
=700
10x=4x+1680
6x=1680
x=1680/6
x=280
So the original apple=x+420
=280+420
=700

Apple sold 40%.
So remaining apple = 100-40.
So, 60% and given in question that
60% = 420.
60/100 = 420.
So result is = 700 apple.
So remaining apple = 100-40.
So, 60% and given in question that
60% = 420.
60/100 = 420.
So result is = 700 apple.

Simple: 40% apples sold. remains =420 it means 60% ....
60%=420 Then 1%=70
Then (Total)=100% =( 1% * 100) ===> 100*7 = 700Apples
60%=420 Then 1%=70
Then (Total)=100% =( 1% * 100) ===> 100*7 = 700Apples

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.

Short one:
Remaining apples (100%-40%) = 60%.
60% = 420.
40% = (40*420) /60.
= 280 (unitary method).
Answer = 280+420.
= 700.
Remaining apples (100%-40%) = 60%.
60% = 420.
40% = (40*420) /60.
= 280 (unitary method).
Answer = 280+420.
= 700.

40% of apples sold.
Remaining 60% = 420.
Now,
40% =420 * (100÷60)* (40÷100).
=280,
Total apples = 420 + 280 = 700.
Remaining 60% = 420.
Now,
40% =420 * (100÷60)* (40÷100).
=280,
Total apples = 420 + 280 = 700.

Total apples = x.
Remaining apples = 420.
Sold = 40%, unsold = 60%.
According to formula = (420/x)*100 = 420.
Then x = 700.
Remaining apples = 420.
Sold = 40%, unsold = 60%.
According to formula = (420/x)*100 = 420.
Then x = 700.
