Question

Q10. A shopkeeper sells oranges in two types of boxes ,one small box and one
large box. A large box contains as many as 4 small boxes plus 8 loose
oranges. Set up an equation which gives the number of oranges in each
small box. The number of oranges in a large box is given to be 100.​

Answer 1

Answer:

23 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of oranges in a small box be x.

According to the given question,

No. of oranges in a large box = 4x + 8

And,

4x + 8 = 100

or, 4x = 100 - 8

or, 4x = 92

or, x = 92/4

or, x = 23

Answer: There are 23 oranges in each small box.
