One night, King Tariq couldn’t sleep and discovered a bowl of mangoes in the Royal kitchen. He ate one-sixth of the mangoes. Later, Queen Kamy, unable to sleep, took one-fifth of what the King had left. Prince Elijah then ate one-fourth of the remaining mangoes, followed by his brother Prince Shyam, who took one-third of what was left. Finally, Princess Emma feasted on one-half of the remaining mangoes, leaving just three mangoes for the servants. Can you solve the mystery of how many mangoes were originally in the bowl?
