Question

Deepak bought a basket of mangoes containing 250 mangoes. 12% of these were found to be rotten. Of the remaining, 10% got crushed. How many mangoes were in good condition?

Answer 1

Number of mangoes = 250
So the rotten mangoes = 12% of 250
We can write it as
= 250 $\times$ 12/100
= 30
Remaining mangoes = 250 – 30 = 220
We know that
Mangoes crushed = 10% of 220
We can write it as
= 220 $\times$ 10/100
= 22
So the balance number of mangoes = 220 – 22 = 198
Therefore, 198 mangoes were in good condition
