Question

There were 125 green mangoes and 724 ripe mangoes. If total 462 mangoes were sold how many mangoes left?

Answer 1

Answer

387 mangoes are left after selling 462 mangoes

Answer 2

Answer:

387 mangoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of simple addition and subtraction.

The total no. of mangoes = no. of ripe mangoes + no. of green mangoes

which is equal to 724 mangoes + 125 mangoes.

Therefore total no. of mangoes = 849.

462 mangoes were sold, so, to find the no. of mangoes left we need to subtract the no. of mangoes sold from the total no. of mangoes.

No. of mangoes left = 849 - 462 = 387 mangoes.
