Question

$25$% of the total mangoes which are rotten is $1,250$. Find the total number of mangoes in the basket. Also, find the number of good mangoes.

Answer 1

Let the total number of mangoes be $x$

Then $\frac{25x}{100}=1250$

$x=\frac{1250\times 100}{25}$

$x=5000mangoes$

Total number of mangoes in the basket $=5000$

Number of good mangoes $=5000-1250=3750$
