Basket A has 600 while B has 360.

dont know y they test understanding of our language rather than being straight forward ... sigh

Hi

First thing first, did you make any changes to the original question?

Do take note that 600 and 360 were not given in your original question.Please post the original question as it is shown in your source.

1) mr tan had a total of 960 fruits. 30% of the 600[/u] fruits in basket A were oranges and the rest were pears. 40% of the fruits in basket B were pears and the rest were oranges. after some fruits were transferred from A to B and B to A, 25% of the fruits in basket A and 75% of the fruits in basket B were oranges. how many fruits are there in basket A in the end?

1) I read from a thread that one mummy quoted that \"unclear on timetable and not sure which book to bring along on the school day\" Has this been settled this Year?

2) Any idea what is the charge for the school bus?

3) Does the school provide remedial class for weak student on a weekly basis on adhoc basis?

4) Do we need to purchase the shoe and socks from the school as well?

5) Any recommendation on student care? I saw Morning Star and Graceland was quoted but I'm not too sure how good the centre are..

Can anyone up there do share, please.
