Answer:
initial no. of apples = 160
15% got spoiled. So, (15/100)*160 got spoiled.
Number of apples got spoiled = 24
good apples = total- spoiled = 160 - 24 = 136
hope it helps

apples=160
apples spoilt=15%
good apples left=???
spoilt apples= 15% of 160
15/100×160

so if spoilt apples are 24 then good apples are 160 - 24
good apples= 136
