There are some apples and oranges in a kitchen. If 3 apples are removed, there will be 1/4 as many apples as oranges. If 3 oranges are removed, there will be equal number of apples and oranges. How many fruits are there altogether?
A==Apples, G==Oranges
A - 3 == 1 / 4 G,
G - 3 ==A, solve for A, G
A ==5 apples
G ==8 oranges
5 + 8 ==13 - total fruits altogether.
