Answer 2

Given:

In a fruit shop 20 percentage of mangoes are rotten.

The number rotten mangoes is 35.

To find:

The total number of mangoes.

Solution:

Let x be the number of total mangoes.

It is given that 20% of mangoes are rotten. So, the number of rotten mangoes is 20% of x.

`(20)/(100)* x=(1)/(5)x`

The number rotten mangoes is 35. So,

`(1)/(5)x=35`

`x=5* 35`

`x=175`

Therefore, the number of total mangoes is 175.
