Let M represent the number of mangoes at first.
Let P represent the number of papayas at first.
We know that M + P = 65.
After 3/4 of M and 3/5 of P were gone, 20 fruits were left.
So, 1/4 M + 2/5 P = 20.
Multiply the equation by 4:
M + 8/5 P = 80
Because M + P = 65:
3/5 P = 15
Multiply 5/3 on both sides:
P = 25
