Asked by Tabassum sultana

Please these word problem. A box contained fruits such as apples, oranges and pears. 3/5 of the fruits were apples. 1/4 of the remaining fruits were oranges and the rest were pears. If there were 60 pears in the box, how many oranges were there?
Answered by Damon
3/5 apples , so 2/5 of box others
1/4 *2/5 = 2/10 of box oranges
so
apples + oranges = 3/5 + 2/10 = 8/10 of box
so 2/10 of box is pears
2/10 box = 60
so box = 300 fruits
oranges = 2/10 * 300 = 60
