Question

Manoj buys some apples. He gives half of them
to his sister and half of the remaining apples to
his brother. If he is left with 6 apples, how many
apples did he buy?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

number of apples bought by Manoj is 24

Answer 2

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total no. of apples be x

He gave 1/2x to his sister.

Remaining apples =x-1/2x=1/2x

He gave 1/2*1/2x=1/4x to his brother.

he is left with 6 apples

BTP

x=1/2x+1/4x+6

or x=((2x+x)/4)+6

or x= ((3x+4)/4)+6

or x-(3x/4)=6

or (4x-3x)/4=6

or x=24

The answer is 24
