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.
A woman bought some oranges and 30% of them were bad. If there were 60 bad oranges, how many oranges did she buy
