A fruit seller had the same number of peaches, guavas and starfruits at first. After 84 starfruits, some peaches and guavas were taken out, there were 195 fruits left. There were twice as many peaches as guavas left. The number of starfruits left was 35 fewer than the number of peaches. How many guavas were taken out?

2 u |
1 u |
2 u - 35 |
195 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 2 u + 1 u + 2 u - 35
= 5 u - 35
5 u - 35 = 195
5 u = 195 + 35
5 u = 230
1 u = 230 ÷ 5 = 46
Number of starfruits at first
= 2 u - 35 + 84
= 2 x 46 - 35 + 84
= 92 - 35 + 84
= 141
The number of guavas and starfruits at first was the same.
Number of guavas taken out
= 141 - 1 u
= 141 - 46
= 95
Answer(s): 95
