2 u |
1 u |
2 u - 33 |
152 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 2 u + 1 u + 2 u - 33
= 5 u - 33
5 u - 33 = 152
5 u = 152 + 33
5 u = 185
1 u = 185 ÷ 5 = 37
Number of chikoos at first
= 2 u - 33 + 78
= 2 x 37 + 45
= 119
The number of chikoos and guavas at first is the same.
Number of guavas sold
= 119 - 37
= 82
Answer(s): 82
