In a bag of oranges, the ratio of the good ones to the bad ones is 5:4. If the number of bad oranges in the bag is 36, how many oranges are there in the altogether?

Another explanation if you see fit!
Good to bad is given as 5:4
Where; 4/9x = 36.
We got the 4 and that's the ratio part of the of orange, and the 9 is gotten by adding 5 and 4.

Taking the inverse of both sides wr get:
x = 36 * 9/4
x = 9 * 9 = 81
