Answer:

If you're trying to find the whole number from a percentage of the number, divide the number by its percent: 1360/17%= 8000. The total number of mangoes is 8000.

Answer:


\boxed{\bold{\huge{\boxed{\sf x = 8000 \ mangoes}}}}

Explanation:

Let the number be x

The given condition is:

=> 17 % of x = 1360

=>
\sf (17)/(100) * x = 1360

Multiplying both sides by
(100)/(17)

=>
\sf x = (136000)/(17)

=> x = 8000

So, total number of mangoes is 8000.
