After |
4 u |
1 u |
4 u - 32 |
193 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 4 u + 1 u + 4 u - 32
= 9 u - 32
9 u - 32 = 193
9 u = 193 + 32
9 u = 225
1 u = 225 ÷ 9 = 25
Number of kiwis at first
= 4 u - 32 + 77
= 4 x 25 + 45
= 145
The number of kiwis and mangoes at first is the same.
Number of mangoes sold
= 145 - 25
= 120
Answer(s): 120
