An apple costs Rs. 20. An orange costs Rs. 5. A banana costs Rs. 4. In a basket there are 30 fruits of which 6 are apples and the remaining are oranges and bananas. The total cost of the fruits in the basket is Rs. 230. How many oranges are there in the basket?

• total no of oranges be x
  given no. of apples is 6
  so remaining bananas is 30-x-6=24-x
  now equation is 5*x+(24-x)*4=230-120
  so x=14 oranges
  24-x=10 bananas

• 14 is correct
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
• 30-6=24
  6*20=120
  230-120=110
  let x=orange
  then 24-x=banana
  x*5+(24-x)*4=110
  x=14(ans)

• let x,y,z no of fruits apple and orange and bananas.
  so x+y+z=30
  we know that x=6
  x+y=30-6=24 --------------------(i)
  the total cost of all fruit is
  20x+sy+4z=230
  we know that x=6
  so,
  5y+4z=230-120
  5y+4z=110 -----------------------(ii)
  solve equation i and ii you will get
  y=14

• 10
  because 230-120-(5*14+4*10)=0
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• Total fruits 30
  Total amount 230
  Out of 6 fruits is appples then 6*20=120
  Remaining fruits 24 and amount 110 rupees
  Now go through options 14 oranges and 10 banana
  14*5+10*4=110
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Total fruits =30
  No.of apples is 6
  Oranges +bananas=24
  Let oranges is x and bananas =24-x
  Total cost is 230
  Apples cost is 120
  Cost of oranges and bananas is 230-120=110
  Then 5x+(24-x)4=110
  Then,x=14 which is no. Of oranges and 24-14=10 are bananas

• 14 is the correct answer..
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 6×20 +5x+4x=230
  5x+4x=110
  as (30-6=24) so 5×14+4×10=110
  satisfy the condition
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• let no. of orange=x
  no. of banana=total-apple-orange= 30-6-x=24-x
  cost of apple+orange +banana=230
  (20*6)+(5x)+(4*(24-x))=230
  120+5x+96-4x=230
  216+x=230
  x=14 (NO. of Oranges)

• 6 apples cost is rs 20 Rs.
  let x,y be oranges and bananas respectively
  here x and y cost Rs. 5 and Rs.4 respectively
  cost of 6 apples=6*20
  cost of x oranges=5x
  cost of y bananas =4y
  total cost of fruits=230 Rs.
  There are 30 fruits into the basket
  Therefore,form the equation
  20*6+ 5x +4y=230 =>5x+4y=110
  and
  6+x+y=30 =>x+y=24
  by solving these equations we get ,
  x=14
  and y=10
  so the answer is 14 for oranges
  and if bananas are asked the answer is 10.

• Let an apple be X , an orange be Y and a banana be Z.
  X+Y+Z=30
  X=30
  And
  Cost of all fruits in basket is 230
  Apple=20rs
  Orange=5rs
  Banana=4rs
  20X+5Y+4z=30
  By solving both equations we get
  Y i.e total no. of oranges is 14
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• Total number of fruits =30
  Total no. of apples = 6
  Fruits in basket : 6+orange+banana=30
  so, orange+banana=30-6 =(24).
  so, orange+banana=24
  Now the equation is : orange= 24-banana-----(1)
  Total cost of fruits in the basket=230.
  Apple=total cost of apple* total no. of apples
  Apples= 20 *6=120.
  120+5*orange+4*banana =230
  5*orange+4*banana=110.-----(2)
  Now , Substituting Eq.1 in Eq 2:
  5*(24-banana) + 4*banana=110
  120-1 banana=110
  -1 banana=-10
  banana =10;
  Substituting the value of banana in Eq.1 :
  so, the no. of oranges=24-10= 14.
• 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• total no of oranges be x
  given no. of apples is 6
  
  20*6 + 5x+4y = 230
  
  5x + 4y = 230-120
  
  5x + 4y = 110 --- (1)
  
  w.k.t that ,
  
  x+y +z =30
  
  x+y+6=30
  
  x+y = 24 ---- (2)
  
  solve 1 and 2 , we get
  
  sub y = 10 in (2)
  
  so , we get X = 14
  
  ( or)
  
  24-y= orange
  
  thank you
