4 u |
Change |
- 123 u |
- 13 u |
- 2 u |
After |
113 u |
23 u |
2 u |
Number of apples sold
=
12 x 4 u
= 2 u
Number of green apples sold
=
16 x 2 u
=
13 u
Number of green apples left
= 1 -
13 u
=
23 u
23 u = 152
1 u
= 152 ÷
23 = 152 x
32= 228
Number of red apples sold
= 2 u -
13 u
= 1
23 u
= 1
23 x 228
= 380
Answer(s): 380
