A shopkeeper sells mangoes in two types of boxes,one small and one large. Find the number of mangoes in each small box if the number of mangoes in a large box is 120 and a large box contains as many as 5 small boxes plus 10 loose mangoes

Answer 1

Given that,

No.of mangoes in large box is

8 times mangoes in small box plus 4

No. of mangoes in large box

$8n + 4$

Also,

No. of mangoes in large box =

$= 8n + 4 = 100$

Answer 2

let a small box contain m mangoes.

A large box contains 4 more than 8 times m, that is, 8m + 4 mangoes. but this is given to be 100. Thus,

8m + 4=100

you can get the number of mango in a small box by solving this equation
