Please help me continue this problem
A market vendor bought a crate of mangoes for 55 peso. when the crate was opened he found that 4 pieces were not fit to be sold. If he sells the rest at 80 cents more than the buying price, he gets a profit of 8 peso for these remaining mangoes. How many mangoes were in the crate?
The only thing I know is
$\left(\frac{55}{x}+0.8\right)(x-4)=??$
I'm stuck! :(
