Question

A fruit seller had some mangoes. After selling 30% of the mangoes he still has 133 mangoes. How many mangoes did he have in the beginning?
1. 180
2. 175
3. 190
4. 194

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 190

Given:

Fruit seller sells mangoes = 30%

Remaining mangoes = 133 

Calculation:

The total number of mangoes be x

Percentage of remaining mangoes = 100% - 30% = 70%

⇒ 70% of x = 133

⇒ x = 133 × 100/70 

⇒ x = 190

∴ 190 mangoes he did have in the beginning
