Nigel had a total of 227 durians and pears. He sold half of the durians and bought another 40 pears. As a result, he had an equal number of durians and pears.
a) How many durians were there at first?
b) How many pears were there at first?
Solution

(Durians) 2 units --> 2 x 89 = 178
Answer: 178 durians
