Answer:

30 oranges

Explanation:

Since 1/4 was subtracted from the total of 40 as apples, we would want to find the amount of oranges, or 3/4.

To find a fraction amount of a number, multiply that number by the decimal form of the fraction.

Since the decimal form of 3/4 is .75, all we have to do is multiply 40 by .75.

40*.75=30

There was 30 oranges.

Hope this helps!
