A fruit-seller sold
45 of his guavas in the morning and
59 of his remaining guavas in the afternoon. If he had 32 guavas at the end of the day, find the total number of guavas he had at first.

| 36 u |
5 u |
4 u |
45 u |
Fraction of the guavas not sold in the morning
= 1 - 45
= 15
Number of guavas left = 4 u
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Total number of guavas
= 45 u
= 45 x 8
= 360
Answer(s): 360
