In a basket,
14 are passion fruits and the rest are oranges. If I give away 95 oranges, there will be
27 as many oranges as passion fruits. How many passion fruits and oranges are there in the basket altogether?
|
Passion Fruits |
Oranges |
Total |
Before |
1x7 = 7 u |
3x7 = 21 u |
4x7 = 28 u |
Change |
|
- 95 |
|
After |
7x1 = 7 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
|
The number of passion fruits remains unchanged.
Change in the number of oranges
= 21 u - 2 u
= 19 u
19 u = 95
1 u = 95 ÷ 19 = 5
Number of passion fruits and oranges
= 28 u
= 28 x 5
= 140
Answer(s): 140
