A woman bought some oranges and 30% of them were bad. If there were 60 bad oranges, how many oranges did she buy
Show workings
Let's assume the total number of oranges the women bought was "x".
According to the question, 30% of the oranges bought were bad.
So, the number of bad oranges is given as 0.3x
Also, as per the question, there are 60 bad oranges.
Hence,
0.3x = 60
x = 60 / 0.3
x = 200
Therefore, the women bought 200 oranges.
