Answer:

Let x be the total number of fruits at the fruit stall.

Since ¼ x are oranges, and ⅛ x are apples. By adding them and subtracting them by x, we would know the amount of the remaining fruits.

¼ x + ⅛ x = ⅜ x <-- Adding the apples and oranges

x - ⅜ x = ⅝ x <-- Getting the amount of remaining fruits

Since mangoes are 1/5 of the remaining fruits, and the amount of the remaining fruits are ⅝ x, to get the amount of mangoes, we must multiply 1/5 by ⅝ x. And since we know that there are 72 mangoes, the equation would be like this:

1/5 × ⅝ x = 72 <-- Equation

5/40 x = 72 <-- Solved the equation

1/8 x = 72 <-- Simplify

Now, we know that 72 is ⅛ of x. We must multiply both sides by 8 to get only x

(8) 1/8 x = (8) 72

x = 576

There are a total of 576 fruits in the fruit stand.
