4 u |
1 u |
4 u - 30 |
132 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 4 u + 1 u + 4 u - 30
= 9 u - 30
9 u - 30 = 132
9 u = 132 + 30
9 u = 162
1 u = 162 ÷ 9 = 18
Number of pomegranates at first
= 4 u - 30 + 68
= 4 x 18 + 38
= 110
The number of pomegranates and peaches at first is the same.
Number of peaches sold
= 110 - 18
= 92
Answer(s): 92
