Number of kiwis that Sean used
=
37 x 154
= 66
Number of kiwis that Sean had left
= 154 - 66
= 88
Number of pomegranates that Sean used
=
49 x 135
= 60
Number of pomegranates that Sean had left
= 135 - 60
= 75
Fraction of the fruits left that were pomegranates
= 1 -
17=
67 Number of kiwis left = 1 u = 88
Number of pomegranates left in the end
= 6 u
= 6 x 88
= 528
Number of pomegranates that Sean bought
= 528 - 75
= 453
Answer(s): 453
