fruits some mangoes and
some grapes. If there are
8 more mangoes than grapes,
How many mangoes are
there?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of grapes be x.

then no. of mangoes will be x +8

A/Q,

x+x+8=20

2x+8=20

2x=20-8

x=18/2

x=9

therefore, no. of mangoes are 9+8=17

Answer 2

There are 14 mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total fruits in a box = 20

Now let

Number of grapes = x

As there are  8 more mangoes than grapes

So Number of mangoes = x + 8

According to question we have

$x + x+ 8 = 20\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+8= 20\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=20-8\\\\\Rightarrow 2x= 12\\\\\Rightarrow x= 6$

Therefore the numbers of mangoes = x + 8 = 6 + 8 = 14

Hence, there are 14 mangoes
