In a basket,
12 are chikoos and the rest are pomegranates. If I give away 10 pomegranates, there will be
23 as many pomegranates as chikoos. How many chikoos and pomegranates are there in the basket altogether?
| |
Chikoos |
Pomegranates |
Total |
| Before |
1x3 =
3 u |
1x3 =
3 u |
2x3 =
6 u |
| Change |
|
- 10 |
|
| After |
3x1 =
3 u |
2x1 =
2 u |
|
The number of chikoos remains unchanged.
Change in the number of pomegranates
= 3 u - 2 u
= 1 u
1 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 1 = 10
Number of chikoos and pomegranates
= 6 u
= 6 x 10
= 60
Answer(s): 60
