We know that 75 equals 2/3 of the remainder
which means 1/3 of the remainder is equal to 75/2 (37.5)
if 1/3 equals 37.5 then 3/3 (or all of the remainder) is equal to 3*37.5 (112.5)
We know that the remainder equals 5/8 of the oranges since
8/8-3/8= 5/8
We know that 112.5= 5/8, which mean 1/8 is equal to 112.5/5 (22.5) and that 8/8 or the total number of oranger equals 22.5*8 (180)

RESULT:
180 oranges
