Question

Oranges are to be transferred from larger boxes into smaller boxes. When a large box is emptied, the oranges from it fill two smaller boxes and still 10 oranges remain outside. If the number of oranges in a small box are taken to be , x what is the number of oranges in the larger box?

Answer 1

Number of oranges in one box = \(x\) 
Number of boxes = \(2\) 
Therefore, total number of oranges in boxes = \(2x\) 
Remaining oranges = \(10 \)
Thus, number of oranges = \(2x+10\)
