In a basket,
12 are chikoos and the rest are mangoes. If I give away 36 mangoes, there will be
211 as many mangoes as chikoos. How many chikoos and mangoes are there in the basket altogether?
|
Chikoos |
Mangoes |
Total |
Before |
1x11 = 11 u |
1x11 = 11 u |
2x11 = 22 u |
Change |
|
- 36 |
|
After |
11x1 = 11 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
|
The number of chikoos remains unchanged.
Change in the number of mangoes
= 11 u - 2 u
= 9 u
9 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 9 = 4
Number of chikoos and mangoes
= 22 u
= 22 x 4
= 88
Answer(s): 88
