2/3 of a basket of apples rot. We eat 4/5 of the rest and use the remaining 25 to make jam. How many apples were in the basket

Answer:

375

Explanation:

Since the basket was full, ⅔ rot so the remaining for any use will be 1-⅔=⅓

Since we only eat 4/5 of this remaining quantity, we use the 1-4/5=1/5 of ⅓ for making jam

1/5 of ⅓=1/5*⅓=1/15

If 1/15 equals 25 pieces then the full basket had

25*15/1=375 pieces
