Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: We know that the total number of mangoes and oranges is 2342.

Step 2: We also know that there are 124 more oranges than mangoes.

Step 3: Let's denote the number of mangoes as 'm'. Therefore, the number of oranges would be 'm + 124'.

Step 4: According to the problem, the sum of mangoes and oranges is 2342. So, we can set up the following equation: m + (m + 124) = 2342.

Step 5: Simplify the equation: 2m + 124 = 2342.

Step 6: Subtract 124 from both sides of the equation: 2m = 2342 - 124 = 2218.

Step 7: Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for 'm': m = 2218 / 2 = 1109. So, there are 1109 mangoes.

Step 8: Since there are 124 more oranges than mangoes, the number of oranges is 1109 + 124 = 1233.

So, there are 1233 oranges.
