Question

the number of apples in a basket is 8 pieces more than half the number of oranges in a box.Express the given sentence using a numerical equation

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey there

let the no of oranges be x

no of apples x(1+20/100)

x(1+20/100) +x = 11

x(1+1/5)+x = 11

6/5x +x = 11

11x/5 = 11

x = 11*5/11

x = 5

no of oranges = 5

no of apples = 6

Answer 2

Let number of apples be 'x' and number of oranges be 'y'

x +8 = y/2

2x +16 = y

2x-y = -16
