After |
4 u |
1 u |
4 u - 33 |
75 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 4 u + 1 u + 4 u - 33
= 9 u - 33
9 u - 33 = 75
9 u = 75 + 33
9 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 9 = 12
Number of chikoos at first
= 4 u - 33 + 61
= 4 x 12 + 28
= 76
The number of chikoos and dragonfruits at first is the same.
Number of dragonfruits sold
= 76 - 12
= 64
Answer(s): 64
