please give me the solution fast​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of fruits in the basket is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of fruits in the basket be x .

One- fourth of fruits = ¼x. ,

three fifth of fruits = ⅗x,

Remaining fruits = 6

Therefore,

¼x + ⅗x + 6 = x

Multiply by 20

5x + 12x +120 = 20x

17x +120 = 20x

120 = 20x - 17x

3x = 120

x = 40

therefore, total number of fruits in basket is 40
