There are 150 mangoes in basket p and basket q. 1/4 of the mangoes in basket p were yellow and the rest were green. 3/5 of the mangoes in basket q were yellow and the rest green. The number of green mangoes in both baskets were equal. How many yellow mangoes were there altogether?

p+q = 150

3/4 p = 2/5 q

I suspect a typo, as the solution is not an integer.

There were 150 mangoes in basket Q. 1/4 of the mangoes in basket P were yellow and the rest were green. 3/5 of the mangoes in basket Q were yellow and the rest were green. The number of green mangoes in both baskets was equal. How many yellow mangoes were there were there altogether?

Hi, I have checked and corrected all grammatical errors. Thanks

To find out how many yellow mangoes there are in total, we need to calculate the number of yellow mangoes in basket p and basket q separately, and then add them together.

First, let's find out the number of yellow mangoes in basket p. We know that 1/4 of the mangoes in basket p were yellow. Since there are 150 mangoes in basket p, we can calculate the number of yellow mangoes in basket p by multiplying 150 by 1/4:

Number of yellow mangoes in basket p = 150 * 1/4 = 150/4 = 37.5

However, we cannot have half a mango, so we need to round this number to the nearest whole number. Since we are dealing with fruits and can't have a fraction of a fruit, we always round up, so the number of yellow mangoes in basket p is:

Number of yellow mangoes in basket p = 38

Next, let's find out the number of yellow mangoes in basket q. We know that 3/5 of the mangoes in basket q were yellow. Again, since there are 150 mangoes in basket q, we can calculate the number of yellow mangoes in basket q by multiplying 150 by 3/5:

Number of yellow mangoes in basket q = 150 * 3/5 = 450/5 = 90

Now that we have the number of yellow mangoes in both baskets, we can add them together to find the total:

Total number of yellow mangoes = Number of yellow mangoes in basket p + Number of yellow mangoes in basket q = 38 + 90 = 128

Therefore, there were 128 yellow mangoes altogether.
