2 u |
1 u |
2 u - 25 |
185 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 2 u + 1 u + 2 u - 25
= 5 u - 25
5 u - 25 = 185
5 u = 185 + 25
5 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 5 = 42
Number of starfruits at first
= 2 u - 25 + 43
= 2 x 42 + 18
= 102
The number of starfruits and persimmons at first is the same.
Number of persimmons sold
= 102 - 42
= 60
Answer(s): 60
