Before |
7 u |
3 u |
Change |
- 46 |
+ 46 |
After |
7 u - 46 |
3 u + 46 |
If Vaidev gives Justin 46 oranges from his share, they will have the same number of oranges.
7 u - 46 = 3 u + 46
7 u - 3 u = 46 + 46
4 u = 92
1 u = 92 ÷ 4 = 23
Number of oranges that Vaidev has
= 7 u
= 7 x 23
= 161
Answer(s): 161
