In a basket,
14 are mangoes and the rest are kiwis. If I give away 155 kiwis, there will be
211 as many kiwis as mangoes. How many mangoes and kiwis are there in the basket altogether?
|
Mangoes |
Kiwis |
Total |
Before |
1x11 = 11 u |
3x11 = 33 u |
4x11 = 44 u |
Change |
|
- 155 |
|
After |
11x1 = 11 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
|
The number of mangoes remains unchanged.
Change in the number of kiwis
= 33 u - 2 u
= 31 u
31 u = 155
1 u = 155 ÷ 31 = 5
Number of mangoes and kiwis
= 44 u
= 44 x 5
= 220
Answer(s): 220
