After |
3 u |
1 u |
3 u - 19 |
156 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 3 u + 1 u + 3 u - 19
= 7 u - 19
7 u - 19 = 156
7 u = 156 + 19
7 u = 175
1 u = 175 ÷ 7 = 25
Number of mangoes at first
= 3 u - 19 + 66
= 3 x 25 + 47
= 122
The number of mangoes and chikoos at first is the same.
Number of chikoos sold
= 122 - 25
= 97
Answer(s): 97
