Number of pomegranates that Paul used
=
57 x 126
= 90
Number of pomegranates that Paul had left
= 126 - 90
= 36
Number of chikoos that Paul used
=
711 x 99
= 63
Number of chikoos that Paul had left
= 99 - 63
= 36
Fraction of the fruits left that were chikoos
= 1 -
19=
89 Number of pomegranates left = 1 u = 36
Number of chikoos left in the end
= 8 u
= 8 x 36
= 288
Number of chikoos that Paul bought
= 288 - 36
= 252
Answer(s): 252
