In a basket,
15 are apples and the rest are chikoos. If I give away 247 chikoos, there will be
34 as many chikoos as apples. How many apples and chikoos are there in the basket altogether?
|
Apples |
Chikoos |
Total |
Before |
1x4 = 4 u |
4x4 = 16 u |
5x4 = 20 u |
Change |
|
- 247 |
|
After |
4x1 = 4 u |
3x1 = 3 u |
|
The number of apples remains unchanged.
Change in the number of chikoos
= 16 u - 3 u
= 13 u
13 u = 247
1 u = 247 ÷ 13 = 19
Number of apples and chikoos
= 20 u
= 20 x 19
= 380
Answer(s): 380
