Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let total no of boxes be x
No. of boxes purchased by first customer = x/2 +1/2 (This 1/2 is the half of 1 box)
No of boxes purchased by second customer. = x/4+1/2
No of boxes left (Given in question)= 7.5
ATQ
x/2+1/2+x/4+1/2+7.5= x
⇒8.5+3x/4=x
⇒3x/4-x=-8.5
⇒ -x/4=-8.5
⇒x/4 = 8.5 (minus sign cancels Minus sign on both side of equation)
x = 8.5 x 4
= 34
Therefore Krishna had 34 boxes in beginning.
