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
