let o = amount of oranges
m = amount of mangosteens
then:
o + m = 4360
m = 456 + o (456 more mangosteens than oranges)
substitute m into the first eq.:
o + m = 4360
o + (456 + o) = 4360
2o = 3904
o = 1952
substitute o = 3904 back into the first eq.:
1952 + m = 4360
m = 2408
Therefore, there are 2408 mangosteens.
