Number of mangosteens that Rael used
=
411 x 110
= 40
Number of mangosteens that Rael had left
= 110 - 40
= 70
Number of passion fruits that Rael used
=
710 x 170
= 119
Number of passion fruits that Rael had left
= 170 - 119
= 51
Fraction of the fruits left that were passion fruits
= 1 -
16=
56 Number of mangosteens left = 1 u = 70
Number of passion fruits left in the end
