Number of apples at first in percent = 100%
Number of kiwis at first in percent
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
KiwisApples =
125100 =
54Number of apples sold
= 50% x 4 u
=
50100 x 4 u
= 2 u
Number of more kiwis than apples in the end
= 5 u - 2 u
= 3 u
3 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 3 = 10
Total number of apples and kiwis at first
= 5 u + 4 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 10
= 90
Answer(s): 90
