Ram and Shyam have two dozen apples in a basket. Soumya ate four apples from the basket. How many apples are left with them?
Apples are to be transferred from larger baskets to smaller baskets. When a larger box is emptied, the apples from it fill three smaller baskets and still, 16apples remain outside. If the number of apples in a small basket is taken to be x, what is the number of apples in the larger basket?
