Currant planting

There are 600 currant bushes in the orchard. On the first day, they planted two-fifths, and on the second, three-eighths out of the total number of shrubs. How many shrubs do they have to plant?

Final Answer:

x =  135

Step-by-step explanation:


600 = 2/5 · 600 + 3/8 · 600 + x

40x = 5400


x = 5400/40 = 135

x = 135
