Question 1209419
.
Hi
At a bakery the ratio of the number of lotus paste mooncakes to red bean paste mooncakes was 3 to 1. 
The shop sold half of the total number of mooncakes. Out of the mooncakes sold, 5/6 were lotus paste. 
In the end there were 24 red bean left. How many lotus paste were sold. 
Upon question review there is a big gap under the question I do apologise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



So, what do you want from us, the tutors?


Do you want we find and fix the gap ?



To be honest, I never thought before that we, the tutors, are here 
to find, fix and repair somebodies' gaps in problems by requests of visitors.

<H3>My response to the post by Edwin as @AnlytcPhil</H3>

In his post as @AnlytcPhil, Edwin makes a suggestion (= a hypothesis) that the "gap" under your 
problem/question is a physical gap on a paper.


As a hypothesis, it is normal. &nbsp;&nbsp;May be &nbsp;" yes " &nbsp;- &nbsp;may be &nbsp;" no ".


But at the end of his post, Edwin just treats this his hypothesis (= assumption) 
as a proven fact, although the proofs were not presented.


Such an arbitrary treatment/replacement  of the status &nbsp;" hypothesis " 
by the status &nbsp;" the fact " &nbsp;is not acceptable in a fair discussion.



And one more plain explanation at the end.


Edwin, I do not need more explanations about this post.


I simply ask the visitor to place in his future posts only the content of the problem

and do not place nothing else (no one excessive word more), which may lead to misunderstanding.
