• 3y - 5 = 44

• none of these

A shopkeeper sells mangoes in two types of boxes, one small and one large. A large box contains as many as 8 small boxes plus 4 loose mangoes. Set up an equation which gives the number of mangoes in each small box. The number of mangoes in a large box is given to be 100.

• 8m - 4 = 100

• 8m + 4 = 100

• 8m + 100 = 4

• none of these
