Problem Analysis

Let's break down the information given in the question: - There are two baskets with a total of 100 mandarins. - When 10 mandarins are transferred from the first basket to the second basket, the number of mandarins in the first basket becomes 4 times smaller than the number in the second basket.

We need to determine the initial number of mandarins in the first basket.

Solution

Let's assume that the initial number of mandarins in the first basket is x.

According to the given information, when 10 mandarins are transferred from the first basket to the second basket, the number of mandarins in the first basket becomes 4 times smaller than the number in the second basket.

After the transfer, the number of mandarins in the first basket is x - 10, and the number of mandarins in the second basket is 100 - 10 = 90.

According to the given condition, the number of mandarins in the first basket is 4 times smaller than the number in the second basket. Mathematically, we can represent this as:

(x - 10) = 4 * 90

Simplifying the equation:

x - 10 = 360

Adding 10 to both sides of the equation:

x = 370

Therefore, the initial number of mandarins in the first basket was 370.

Answer

The initial number of mandarins in the first basket was 370.
