Hi. Can anyone help me with this question?
Also, the initial question seems wrong, so you may wish to change the word "oranges" with "pears".
We are left with 4/5 of the pears.
Let the initial number of pears be 5 units (this will be drawn as 5 units in the original model).
The final number of pears would be 4 units, so the final number of apples would also be 4 units.
Initially, there were 5 units pears and (4 units + 111) apples. This would total up to 300 fruits, so
5 units + 4 units + 111 fruits = 300 fruits
9 units + 111 fruits = 300 fruits
9 units = 300 fruits - 111 fruits
9 units = 189 fruits
1 unit = 189/9 fruits (/ is used as a divide sign)
1 unit = 21 fruits
There were 5 units of pears at first.
5 units = 21 fruits x 5
5 units = 105 fruits
So, there were 105 pears at first.
