3 u |
1 u |
3 u - 28 |
126 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 3 u + 1 u + 3 u - 28
= 7 u - 28
7 u - 28 = 126
7 u = 126 + 28
7 u = 154
1 u = 154 ÷ 7 = 22
Number of kiwis at first
= 3 u - 28 + 77
= 3 x 22 + 49
= 115
The number of kiwis and chikoos at first is the same.
Number of chikoos sold
= 115 - 22
= 93
Answer(s): 93
