I told a fruit seller to give me Rs. 1680 worth of passion fruits. After he gave me the passion fruits, I forced him to give me 4 extra passion fruits for free. He complained that because of giving me the extra passion fruits, he is getting Rs. 120 per dozen less on this transaction than the original price. How many passion fruits did get (including the 4 extra passion fruits)?
\n" ); document.write( "

As he received fruits for Rs. 120 LESS than regular price, per dozen, he rec’d EACH fruit for , or Rs. 10. \r\n" );
document.write( "We then get: Regular price per fruit  -  Discounted price per fruit = Rs. 10.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let number of fruits rec’d be r\r\n" );
document.write( "Then total number of fruits seller purchased = r - 4 \r\n" );
document.write( "We then get: \r\n" );
document.write( "                 ------ Factoring out numerator-GCF, 10\r\n" );
document.write( "          168r - 168(r - 4) = r(r - 4) ------ Multiplying by LCD, r(r - 4)\r\n" );
document.write( "           \r\n" );
document.write( "                           r  -  28 = 0		  OR	         r + 24 = 0\r\n" );
document.write( "Number of fruits rec’d, or r = 28	  OR		 r = - 24 (ignore)

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
