Answer:

The original number of oranges purchased is 260

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number of oranges purchased be x

We are given that The number of oranges a grocery store bought this year was 15% more than the number of oranges bought last year.

So, Oranges bought this year = x+15\%x=x+\frac{15}{100}x=1.15x

We are given that This year the store bought 299 oranges.

So, 1.15 x= 299

x=\frac{299}{1.15}

x=260

Hence the original number of oranges purchased is 260
