Question

There are 11 apple and oranges in the basket. If the number of apples are more than 20% of oranges , find the number of apples and oranges in the basket.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no. of oranges be x and

the no. of apples be x+20%

A/q

x+x+20%=11

x+x+20/100=11

2x+20/100=11

2x=11-20/100

2x=1100-20/100

2x=1080/100

2x=10.8

x=5.4

oranges=5.4

apples=5.4+20%

54/10+20/100

540+20/100

560/100

5.6

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of apples and the no. of apples of oranges are 6 and 5 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:-

• Let x be the number of oranges

• We are given that the number of apples are 20% more than the oranges.

$\sf {number \: of \: apples = x+\frac{20}{100}x=1.2xx+ </p><p>100 20}$

• We are given that there are 11 apples and oranges in the basket.

So, x+1.2x=11x+1.2x=11

2.2x=112.2x=11

x=5x=5

• Number of oranges = 5

Number of apples = 1.2x = 1.2(5)=61.2(5)=6

• Hence the number of apples and the no. of apples of oranges are 6 and 5 respectively.
