After |
3 u |
1 u |
3 u - 35 |
175 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 3 u + 1 u + 3 u - 35
= 7 u - 35
7 u - 35 = 175
7 u = 175 + 35
7 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 7 = 30
Number of chikoos at first
= 3 u - 35 + 63
= 3 x 30 + 28
= 118
The number of chikoos and guavas at first is the same.
Number of guavas sold
= 118 - 30
= 88
Answer(s): 88
