Solution:

Let the total number of apples in the basket be m

12% of the apples are rotten, and apples in good condition are 66

Therefore, according to the question,

[tex]88\% \: of \: m= 66[/tex]

[tex]→ \frac{88}{100}× m = 66[/tex]

[tex]→ m = \frac{(66 \times 100)}{88} [/tex]

[tex]→ m = 3 \times 25[/tex]

[tex]→ m = 75[/tex]

Therefore, total number of apples in the basket is 75.

Let the total number of apples in the basket be x

• The apples are rotten = 12%

• The apples in good condition = 66

So ,

[tex]\bold{88\% \: of \: x = 66 }[/tex]

[tex] \bold{↪\frac{88}{100} × x = 66 }[/tex]

[tex]\bold{↪x = \frac{(66×100)}{88} }[/tex]

[tex]\bold{↪x = 3 × 25}[/tex]

[tex] \bold{↪x = 75}[/tex]

[tex]\bold{∴}[/tex]Total number of apples in the basket is 75
