2 u |
1 u |
2 u - 28 |
182 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 2 u + 1 u + 2 u - 28
= 5 u - 28
5 u - 28 = 182
5 u = 182 + 28
5 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 5 = 42
Number of pears at first
= 2 u - 28 + 67
= 2 x 42 + 39
= 123
The number of pears and guavas at first is the same.
Number of guavas sold
= 123 - 42
= 81
Answer(s): 81
