A fruit seller bought a crate of apples for $66.50.After selling each apple for 55 cents,he was able to cover his cost but did not make a profit of more than $20.How many apples could he have sold?

I have to solve this using simultaneous linear inequalities.

Let initially he had x No. of apples

ATQ :-

x-40% of x=420

x-2/5x=420

=> 3x=420×5

x= 700
