Let he purchased 4x apples.
Apple left after first day,
= 4x - 25% of 4x = 3x.
After throwing away 27 apples,
Apple left = 3x -27
Now,
3x - 27 - 62% of (3x - 27) = 114
3x - 27 - (186x - 1674)/100 = 114
300x - 2700 - 186x +1674 = 11400
114x = 11400 + 2700 - 1674
x = 109
So, number of apples = 4x = 4 * 109= 436.
No. of apples=436
Is it correct?
