There were some mangoes in 3 baskets, E, F and G. 25% of the number of mangoes in Basket E was equal to 10% of the number of mangoes in Basket F. The number of mangoes in Basket G was 70% of the total number of mangoes. After Ian removed 10% of the mangoes in Basket G, there were 291 more mangoes in Basket G than in Basket F. In the end, how many mangoes should be transferred from Basket F to Basket G so that the number of mangoes in Basket E would be the same as Basket F?

710The total number of mangoes in Basket E and Basket F is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of mangoes in Box E and Basket F the same. LCM of 7 and 3 = 21
Number of mangoes removed from Basket G
=
10100 x 49 u
= 4.9 u
Number of mangoes left in Basket G
= 49 u - 4.9 u
= 44.1 u
Number of more mangoes in Basket G than Basket F
= 44.1 u - 15 u
= 29.1 u
29.1 u = 291
1 u = 291 ÷ 29.1 = 10

Number of mangoes to be transferred from Basket F to Basket G so that the number of mangoes in Basket E would be the same as Basket F.
= 15 u - 6 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 10
= 90
Answer(s): 90
