    Let the number of oranges in the first basket be x.
    ∴  Number of oranges in the second basket = 640 – x
    According to the question,

    x −
    x
    = 640 – x +
    x
    55

    = 640 −x −
    x
    5

    ⇒ 
    4x
    = 640 –
    4x
    55

    ⇒ 
    4x
    +
    4x
    = 640
    55

    ⇒ 
    8x
    = 640 ⇒ 8x = 640 × 5 = 640

    ⇒ 
    x =
    640 × 5
    = 400
