PSLEA fruit seller had the same number of dragonfruits, mangosteens and chikoos at first. After 44 chikoos, some dragonfruits and mangosteens were sold, there were 196 fruits left.

After |
4 u |
1 u |
4 u - 20 |
196 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 4 u + 1 u + 4 u - 20
= 9 u - 20
9 u - 20 = 196
9 u = 196 + 20
9 u = 216
1 u = 216 ÷ 9 = 24
Number of chikoos at first
= 4 u - 20 + 44
= 4 x 24 + 24
= 120
The number of chikoos and mangosteens at first is the same.
Number of mangosteens sold
= 120 - 24
= 96
Answer(s): 96
