Answer 1

Answer:

Number of ripe mangoes were sold as 132

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume number of rip mangoes were sold as 'x'

A store manager ordered 28 crates of mangoes

Number of crates =28

There were 36 mangoes in each crate

Number of mangoes in each crate=36

Total number of mangoes=( Number of crates)*(Number of mangoes in each crate)

Total number of mangoes is

$=28\times 36$

$=1008$

WHEN the mangoes were delivered

he sold the ripe mangoes and repacked the rest equally into 73 boxes

There were 12 mangoes in each box

Total number of mangoes is

$=73\times 12+x$

$=876+x$

now, we can set them equal

$1008=876+x$

$x=132$
