588 apples
600 apples
672 apples
700 apples

• 700 apples.
  
  He is left with 60% of total apples .

• 588 apples.
  40% of total apples = (40*420)/100
  = 16800/100

  = 420 + 168
  =588 apples

• 0.4x+420=x
  0.6x=420
  x=total apples=700

• let total apple is x
  x-x*40/100=420
  x=700

  60%=420
  1%=7
  100%=700

• 700
  x-40% of x=420
• 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Let the seller had X number of apples
  He sells 40% apple means 40X/100=0.4X
  Now the seller has (X-0.4X) apples
  That is 0.6X apples
  According to question
  0.6X=420
  X=700
  Therefore,originally the seller had 700 apples
