2 u |
1 u |
2 u - 26 |
94 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 2 u + 1 u + 2 u - 26
= 5 u - 26
5 u - 26 = 94
5 u = 94 + 26
5 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 5 = 24
Number of mangosteens at first
= 2 u - 26 + 60
= 2 x 24 + 34
= 82
The number of mangosteens and passion fruits at first is the same.
Number of passion fruits sold
= 82 - 24
= 58
Answer(s): 58
