On the first day we sold 760 kg of fruit and on the second day 35% more. How many kg of fruit were sold on the second day?

It is known from the condition that 760 kg of fruit were sold on the first day, and 35% more on the second day. In order to find how many kg of fruit were sold on the second day, let’s make and solve the proportion.

Let’s take 100% of the fruit sold on the first day. Let us denote by the variable x kg the weight of fruits that make up 35% of those sold on the first day.

Let’s compose and solve the proportion.

760 kg of fruit – 100%;

x kg of fruit – 35%;

760 / x = 100/35;

x = (760 * 35) / 100 = 26600/100 = 266 kg of fruit is 35% of the sold on the first day.

760 + 266 = 1,026 kg of fruit sold on the second day.
