1 u |
4 u - 18 |
135 |
Total number of fruits in the end
= 4 u + 1 u + 4 u - 18
= 9 u - 18
9 u - 18 = 135
9 u = 135 + 18
9 u = 153
1 u = 153 ÷ 9 = 17
Number of passion fruits at first
= 4 u - 18 + 119
= 4 x 17 - 18 + 119
= 68 - 18 + 119
= 169
The number of mangoes and passion fruits at first was the same.
Number of mangoes sold
= 169 - 1 u
= 169 - 17
= 152
Answer(s): 152
