There were 60 guavas altogether in Basket A and Basket B. After I had transferred 6 guavas from Basket A to Basket B, the number of guavas in Basket A became four times the number of guavas in Basket B. How many guavas were there in Basket A at first?
|
A |
B |
Total |
Before |
4 u + 6 |
1 u - 6 |
60 |
Change |
- 6 |
+ 6 |
|
After |
4 u |
1 u |
60 |
Total number of guavas
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Number of guavas in Basket A in the end
= 4 u
= 4 x 12
= 48
Number of guavas in Basket A at first
= 48 + 6
= 54
Answer(s): 54
