4 u - 25 |
182 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 4 u + 1 u + 4 u - 25
= 9 u - 25
9 u - 25 = 182
9 u = 182 + 25
9 u = 207
1 u = 207 ÷ 9 = 23
Number of guavas at first
= 4 u - 25 + 70
= 4 x 23 + 45
= 137
The number of guavas and peaches at first is the same.
Number of peaches sold
= 137 - 23
= 114
Answer(s): 114
