4 u |
1 u |
4 u - 34 |
200 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 4 u + 1 u + 4 u - 34
= 9 u - 34
9 u - 34 = 200
9 u = 200 + 34
9 u = 234
1 u = 234 ÷ 9 = 26
Number of mangoes at first
= 4 u - 34 + 55
= 4 x 26 + 21
= 125
The number of mangoes and guavas at first is the same.
Number of guavas sold
= 125 - 26
= 99
Answer(s): 99
