Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the total number of apples Winston has.
He shipped 4/5 x of the apples to sell.
He only sold 3/5 of the 4/5 x apples he wanted to sell
Therefore, he sold 12/25 or 48% of his total apples for $840 dollars.
Because we don't know the price of each apple, we cannot know how many apples Winston kept.
We can know the theoretical price of his apples though.
if 48% of x = $840
20 % of x = $840/2.4
so he kept $350 worth of apples. or %20 of his total apples
