3/8 of fruits in a basket are oranges, 2/5 of the remainder are mangoes while the rest are apples. If there are 24 apples in the basket, how many fruits are there altogether?

Answer 1

3/8 + (2/5)(5/8) = 3/8 + 1/4 = 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8, the amount that are oranges and mangos

3/8 = the amount that are apples

3/8x = 24

x = (24/1)(8/3) = 64 altogether
