Answer:

apples = 160

oranges = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let apples be x and oranges be y

so

x = 60+y

now he have

y = x + 20

y-20 = x

(60+y)/2 = y-20

60+y = 2y-40

60+y-2y = -40

or, 60-y = -40

or, 60+40 = y

or, y = 100

so, y = 100

now, x = 60+100

so, x = 160

Answer:

100 oranges

160 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially let x = oranges, so apples = x + 60

He sells 1/2 the apples which is (x + 60)/2, then there are 20 more oranges than apples so x (the oranges) will = the remaining apples (x + 60)/2 plus 20 OR

x = (x + 60)/2 + 20 multiply each term by 2 to get rid of the denominator

2x = (x + 60) + 40

2x - x = 60 + 40

x = 60 + 40 = 100 oranges AND

x + 60 or 160 apples
