Answer 1

Answer:

Satrted                     36000

Explanation:

opening units     =   9300

Satrted                     36000

                                45300

Transferred              38000

Closing                     7300

Here is the quation

Opning units+Started-Transferred =  Closing units

Now put the values in equation

9300+Started-38000=7300

Started+28700=7300

Transfer the -28700 to left of the equation and change the sign in + due to transfer

Started =7300+28700

Started =36000
