Answer 2

Given:

Total apples sold is p.

Total mangoes sold is m.

Sum of the number of two fruits sold = 36

To find:

To calculate the difference between the numbers of two fruits sold.

Solution:

Let us denote fruits by X.

Total apples sold = 4X

Total mangoes sold = 5X

The sum of the number of two fruits sold = 36

⇒ 4X + 5X = 36

⇒9X = 36

⇒X= 4

Therefore,

The number of apples sold = 4×4 = 16

The number of mangoes sold = 5×4 = 20

Difference between the total of two fruits sold = total number of mangoes sold = total number of apples sold

= 20 – 16

= 4

The difference between the number of two fruits sold is 4.
