Solution

Find the total number of mangoes in the basket
Let the total number of mangoes be $x$ .
No. of rotten mangoes $= 15 %$
No. of raw mangoes $= 10 %$
No. of consuming mangoes $= 100 % - 15 % - 10 %$
$= 75 %$
According to question
No. of consuming mangoes $= 450$
$75 % of x$ $= 450$
$\frac{75}{100} \times x = 450 \frac{3}{4} x = 450 x = \frac{450}{3} \times 4 x = 600$
Hence, the total number of mangoes in the basket are $600$
