Answer:
The number of Apples did Ravi have at first is 125 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of Apples did Ravi have at first = x
The Apples which is sold by Ravi = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of x
So, remainder now = x - [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of x = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] of x
The apples given to his friend = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] x
I.e The apples given to his friend = [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex] of x
Now, The remaining Apples did Ravi have = 50
∴ According to question
[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] of x - [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex] of x = 60
Or, [tex]\frac{20-8}{25}[/tex] of x = 60
Or, [tex]\frac{12}{25}[/tex] of x = 60
∴ x = [tex]\frac{25\times 60}{12}[/tex] = 125
Hence The number of Apples did Ravi have at first is 125 . Answer
