Question

A fruit seller had some oranges. He sells 40% of the oranges and still has 120 oranges. How many oranges he had originally?

• A. 150
• B. 180
• C. 200
• D. 240
• E. 300

Answer 1

The correct option is C

200

Let the number of oranges be X.

Remaining oranges = 60% of the total oranges = 120

So, $\frac{60}{100}\times X=120$

X= 200
