In a basket,
13 are chikoos and the rest are lemons. If I give away 40 lemons, there will be
25 as many lemons as chikoos. How many chikoos and lemons are there in the basket altogether?
|
Chikoos |
Lemons |
Total |
Before |
1x5 = 5 u |
2x5 = 10 u |
3x5 = 15 u |
Change |
|
- 40 |
|
After |
5x1 = 5 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
|
The number of chikoos remains unchanged.
Change in the number of lemons
= 10 u - 2 u
= 8 u
8 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 8 = 5
Number of chikoos and lemons
= 15 u
= 15 x 5
= 75
Answer(s): 75
