A farmer living in the countryside has a certain number of children. One day, they followed him to the farm, each one with a bag to collect harvested apples. At the end of the day, each bag was filled with 15 apples each. On their way back home, 2 of the children have eaten 4 apples each and another child sold 7 of his apples. If they had a total of 60 apples left by the time they got home, how many children does the farmer have?
assistant
How many apples did the 2 children sell? ** 2 children sold 4 apples each which gives 2*4 = <<2*4=8>>8 apples
How many apples did the other child give out? ** Another child gave out an additional 7 apples making 8+7 = <<8+7=15>>15 apples removed from the total
How many apples were there originally? ** There were 60 apples left after these, so the original total must have been 15+60 = <<15+60=75>>75 apples
How many children did the farmer have? ** Each child collected 15 apples so there are 75/15 = 5 children
