Answer 1

Answer:

a. 27

b. 6, 21

c. 30, 75

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Total fruits in the bowl- 27

   4 strawberries + 6 apples + 9 pears + 18 bananas = 27 fruits

a) fruits eaten- 6

   2 bananas + 1 pear + 3 strawberries = 6 fruits

  fruits left in the bowl- 21

   27 total fruits - 6 fruits eaten =  21 fruits

b) fruits added- 24

   9 guavas + 3 pears + 12 strawberries = 24 fruits

   total fruits in the bowl- 45

   21 fruits + 24 fruits = 45 fruits

c) fruits added- 30

   2 strawberries + 10 apples + 6 pears + 2 bananas + 10 guavas = 30 fruits

   total fruits - 75

   45 fruits + 30 fruits
