2 u |
1 u |
2 u - 20 |
130 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 2 u + 1 u + 2 u - 20
= 5 u - 20
5 u - 20 = 130
5 u = 130 + 20
5 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 5 = 30
Number of guavas at first
= 2 u - 20 + 52
= 2 x 30 + 32
= 92
The number of guavas and chikoos at first is the same.
Number of chikoos sold
= 92 - 30
= 62
Answer(s): 62
