In a basket,
12 are chikoos and the rest are apples. If I give away 77 apples, there will be
29 as many apples as chikoos. How many chikoos and apples are there in the basket altogether?
|
Chikoos |
Apples |
Total |
Before |
1x9 = 9 u |
1x9 = 9 u |
2x9 = 18 u |
Change |
|
- 77 |
|
After |
9x1 = 9 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
|
The number of chikoos remains unchanged.
Change in the number of apples
= 9 u - 2 u
= 7 u
7 u = 77
1 u = 77 ÷ 7 = 11
Number of chikoos and apples
= 18 u
= 18 x 11
= 198
Answer(s): 198
