4 u |
| Change |
- 123 u |
- 13 u |
- 2 u |
| After |
113 u |
23 u |

Number of apples sold
=
12 x 4 u
= 2 u
Number of red apples sold
=
16 x 2 u
=
13 u
Number of red apples left
= 1 -
13 u
=
23 u
23 u = 92
1 u
= 92 ÷
23 = 92 x
32= 138
Number of green apples sold
= 2 u -
13 u
= 1
23 u
= 1
23 x 138
= 230
