Question
Download Solution PDFA crate of mangoes contains one bruised mango for every 30 mangoes in the crate. If 3 out of every 4 bruised mangoes are considered unsalable, and there are 12 unsalable mangoes in the crate, then how many mangoes are there in the crate?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet "x" be the total number of mangoes in the crate.
Bruised mango = \(x\over 30\)
Unsalable mangoes = \(3\over4\)× \(x\over30\)
Given that, there are 12 unsalable mangoes in the crate.
Now,
\(3\over4\)× \(x\over30\) = 12
⇒ \(x\over40\) = 12
⇒ x = 480
Hence, there are 480 mangoes in the crate.
