After |
2 u |
1 u |
2 u - 16 |
84 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 2 u + 1 u + 2 u - 16
= 5 u - 16
5 u - 16 = 84
5 u = 84 + 16
5 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 5 = 20
Number of persimmons at first
= 2 u - 16 + 64
= 2 x 20 + 48
= 88
The number of persimmons and chikoos at first is the same.
Number of chikoos sold
= 88 - 20
= 68
Answer(s): 68
