<PRE><B>Question 1198195</B>
Sharon sold 3/10  of her mangoes. Ahmad sold 1/4 of his. They each sold the same number of mangoes. Is Sharon had 36 fewer mangoes than Ahmad at first, how many did he have left.
-----------------
A = S + 36
(1/4)A = (3/10)S
==============
(1/4)(S+36) = 3S/10
10S + 360 = 12S
360 = 2S
S = 180
A = 216 (at first)
(3/4)A = 162
