A fruit seller initially had some apples. He sold 40% of those and still had 300 apples. How many apples did he initially have?
500
Let's denote the initial number of apples the fruit seller had as 'x'.
He sold 40% of his apples, meaning he sold \(0.40x\) apples.
After selling 40%, he had 300 apples remaining. This can be represented as:
\(x - 0.40x = 300\)
Simplifying the equation:
\(0.60x = 300\)
To find the initial number of apples (x), we divide both sides by 0.60:
\(x = \frac{300}{0.60} = 500\)
Therefore, the fruit seller initially had 500 apples.
