Given:
In a fruit shop 20 percentage of mangoes are rotten.
The number rotten mangoes is 35.
To find:
The total number of mangoes.
Solution:
Let x be the number of total mangoes.
It is given that 20% of mangoes are rotten. So, the number of rotten mangoes is 20% of x.
[tex]\dfrac{20}{100}\times x=\dfrac{1}{5}x[/tex]
The number rotten mangoes is 35. So,
[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}x=35[/tex]
[tex]x=5\times 35[/tex]
[tex]x=175[/tex]
Therefore, the number of total mangoes is 175.
