Question

Sushma bought some apples and oranges. The oranges were 12 more than the apples. If the total number of fruits were 78, how many apples did she buy?

Answer 1

Let the number of apples be x
Then number of oranges = 12+x
Total number of fruits = 78
So,
x + x + 12 = 78
2x = 78-12
2x = 66
x = 33
So, number of apples = 33
And number of oranges = 45
Hope it helps:)
