2 u |
1 u |
2 u - 16 |
184 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 2 u + 1 u + 2 u - 16
= 5 u - 16
5 u - 16 = 184
5 u = 184 + 16
5 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 5 = 40
Number of persimmons at first
= 2 u - 16 + 71
= 2 x 40 + 55
= 135
The number of persimmons and peaches at first is the same.
Number of peaches sold
= 135 - 40
= 95
Answer(s): 95
