Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 320

Given:

The percentage of apples sold by fruit seller is 20%

Still having 256 apples

Calculations:

Let the total number of apples be x

Fruit seller sold 20% apples

Still having 256 apples

Now, A/Q

⇒ (100% - 20%) of x = 256

⇒ 80% of x = 256

⇒ (80/100) of x = 256

⇒ x = 256/0.8

⇒ x = 320

 The total number of apples initially was 320.
