234 divided by 2
= 117
so the fruit seller sold 117 mangoes and 234 apples
To find out how many more apples the fruit seller sold, we first need to determine the number of mangoes he sold. We know that he sold twice as many apples as mangoes.
Let's assume the number of mangoes sold is represented by the variable 'm'. Therefore, the number of apples sold would be '2m', according to the given information.
We are also given that the total number of apples sold is 234. Therefore, we can set up an equation to solve for the value of 'm' and find out how many mangoes were sold:
2m = 234
To find the value of 'm', we divide both sides of the equation by 2:
2m/2 = 234/2
This simplifies to:
m = 117
So the fruit seller sold 117 mangoes.
Now, to determine how many more apples he sold, we subtract the number of mangoes sold from the number of apples sold:
Number of apples sold = 2m = 2 * 117 = 234
Number of more apples sold = Number of apples sold - Number of mangoes sold = 234 - 117 = 117
Therefore, the fruit seller sold 117 more apples.
