Ups...
Sorry, I didn't realize that this symbol meant "^" exponent
I though it was one of those GMAT questions where they give you some weird symbols like * or @ or something

I am not sure if it is correct

27^n=9^4

27 is 3 times bigger then 9
hence, n must be 3 bigger then 4
so
n = 12

another way

The solution above is great, and also maybe this solution could help you.
14 is 70% of 20
so you have to remove 17 oranges, since you had 37 total...
p.s.
it only works cause you are not removing any Apples.
hope it helps
