Question

A shopkeeper sells mangoes in two types of boxes, one small and one large. A large box contains as many as 8 small boxes plus 4 loose mangoes. Set up an equation which gives the number of mangoes in each small box. The number of mangoes in a large box is given to be 100. *
option :-

8m - 4 = 100

8m + 100 = 4

8m + 4 = 100

none of these


​

Answer 1

Answer:

let m be number of magoes in one small box

Then the number of mangoes in 8 small boxes = 8m

Then eqn will be

100 = 8m + 4 Ans

If you simplify this eqn, then

m = (100 - 4)/8 = 12

So each small box will contain 12 mangoes
