Question

There are two types of boxes containing mangoes. Each box of the larger type contains 4 more mangoes than the number of mangoes contained in 8 boxes of the smaller type. Each larger box contains 100 mangoes. Find the number of mangoes contained in the smaller box?

​

Answer 1

Small box has 12 mangoes.

Number of mangoes contained in each larger box = 100  (Given)

Number of mangoes in smaller box = 8 (Given)

Number of more mangoes in large box = 4 (Given)

Let the number of mangoes in each small box be = x.

Number of mangoes in each larger box = 8 × Number of mangoes in each smaller box + 4

Therefore,

Number of mangoes in each larger box = 8x + 4

 Therefore,

8x + 4 = 100

= 8x = 100 - 4

= 8x = 96      

= x = 96/8

= x = 12

Therefore, small box has 12 mangoes.
