Number of chikoos that Warren used
=
37 x 168
= 72
Number of chikoos that Warren had left
= 168 - 72
= 96
Number of pomegranates that Warren used
=
511 x 143
= 65
Number of pomegranates that Warren had left
= 143 - 65
= 78
Fraction of the fruits left that were pomegranates
= 1 -
13=
23 Number of chikoos left = 1 u = 96
Number of pomegranates left in the end
= 2 u
= 2 x 96
= 192
Number of pomegranates that Warren bought
= 192 - 78
= 114
Answer(s): 114
