Question

Ravi sold 1/5 of his apples. He gave his friend 2/5 of the remainder. Ravi remained with 60. How many apples did ravi have at first

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of Apples did Ravi have at first is 125 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of Apples did Ravi have at first = x

The Apples which is sold by Ravi = $\frac{1}{5}$ of x

So, remainder now = x - $\frac{1}{5}$ of x = $\frac{4}{5}$ of x

The apples given to his friend = $\frac{2}{5}$ of $\frac{4}{5}$ x

I.e The apples given to his friend =  $\frac{8}{25}$ of x

Now, The remaining Apples did Ravi have = 50

∴ According to question

$\frac{4}{5}$ of x -  $\frac{8}{25}$ of x = 60

Or,  $\frac{20-8}{25}$ of x = 60

Or,  $\frac{12}{25}$ of x = 60

∴ x = $\frac{25\times 60}{12}$ = 125

Hence The number of Apples did Ravi have at first is 125 .  Answer
