a) How many apples did Geraldine have after returning 55 apples to Farmer Dan?
b) How many apples did Farmer Dan harvest?
Solution
1/4 of remaining ----- 890 – 55 = 835
3/4 of remaining ----- 3 x 835 = 2505
a) Geraldine ----- 2505 - 55 = 2450
b) 1 unit ----- 4/4 of remaining + 105
4/4 of remaining ----- 835 x 4 = 3340
1 unit ----- 3340 + 105 = 3445
(Total harvested) 4 units ----- 4 x 3445 = 13 780
Answer: a) 2450 apples b) 13 780 apples.
