Question

Box contains 160 fruits. of the total number of fruits in the box 30% are apples. 25% of the remaining fruits in the box pears and the rest of the fruits in the box are oranges. how many oranges are in the box?

Answer 1

Answer: If 30% of the fruits in the box are apples, then 100% - 30% = 70% of the fruits in the box are not apples. Of these non-apple fruits, 25% are pears, so the remaining fruits, 100% - 25% = 75% are oranges. Since 75% of the fruits in the box are oranges, and the total number of fruits in the box is 160, then the number of oranges in the box is 75/100 * 160 = <<75/100*160=120>>120. Answer: \boxed{120}.
