Question

there are 11 apples and oranges in the basket is the number of Apples are 20% more than oranges. find the number of a apples and oranges in the basket

Answer 1

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

hope it helps

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

• 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.

Number of apples =$x+\frac{20}{100}x=1.2xx$

• 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.
