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 is taken to be $X$ , what is the number of oranges in the larger box?

Solution

Let the number of oranges in one small box $= x$
Number of oranges in two small boxes $= x + x = 2 x$
Number of oranges remained $= 10$
Number of oranges in large box
$= N u m b e r o f o r a n g e s i n t w o s m a l l b o x e s + N u m b e r o f o r a n g e s r e m a i n i n g = 2 x + 10$
Therefore number of oranges in larger boxes will be $2 x + 10$
