60% ---------------------> 420,
1% ----------------------> 420/60,
100% ------------------> (420/60)X100=700.
1% ----------------------> 420/60,
100% ------------------> (420/60)X100=700.

Let,
60% : 420.
100% : x.
Now cross multiply it, we get;
100 * 420 = 60 * x.
then,
42000/60=x.
so, x= 700.
60% : 420.
100% : x.
Now cross multiply it, we get;
100 * 420 = 60 * x.
then,
42000/60=x.
so, x= 700.

Let the no.of the apples be x.
40% of x = 0.4x.
x - 0.4x = 420.
x(1-0.4) = 420.
x = 420/0.6.
x = 700.
40% of x = 0.4x.
x - 0.4x = 420.
x(1-0.4) = 420.
x = 420/0.6.
x = 700.

APPLES SOLD = 40%
SO REMAINING APPLES = 60%
60% of 420 then 100% of ?
So, 100*420/(60)
ANS: 700 APPLES
SO REMAINING APPLES = 60%
60% of 420 then 100% of ?
So, 100*420/(60)
ANS: 700 APPLES

Let x be the apple.
Sold apple x * 40/100 = 2x/5.
Left 420.
Eq is;
Tototal = sale + left.
X= 2x/5 + 420.
Sold apple x * 40/100 = 2x/5.
Left 420.
Eq is;
Tototal = sale + left.
X= 2x/5 + 420.

40% = 2:5.
In this question 5(total):3(remaining).
3---->420;
Then 1--->140.
Total is 5.
5x140=700.

60% = 420.
1% = 420/60
100% (pure apple) = (420/60) * 100,
= 700 ans.
1% = 420/60
100% (pure apple) = (420/60) * 100,
= 700 ans.

60% remaining --> 420 apples (given).
1% ---> 7 apples (by unitary method).
100% ---> 100*7 = 700 apples.
1% ---> 7 apples (by unitary method).
100% ---> 100*7 = 700 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
