Question

Out of $500$ oranges in a box, ${\frac{3}{25}}^{th}$ are rotten and ${\frac{1}{5}}^{th}$ of the fresh oranges are kept for some guests. How many fresh oranges are left in the box?

Answer 1

Total number of Oranges in a box $500$

$\frac{3}{25}$ of oranges are rotten $=500\times \frac{3}{25}$

Rotten oranges are $=60$

No. of oranges left in box $=500-60$

$=440$

Now, the number of oranges left in the box is $440$.

$\frac{1}{5}$ are kept for guests,

$=440\times \frac{1}{5}$

$=88$

Now, new number of Oranges in the box is $440-88=352$

Hence, total number of oranges left in the box is $352$.
