Number of chikoos that Will used
=
59 x 63
= 35
Number of chikoos that Will had left
= 63 - 35
= 28
Number of pomegranates that Will used
=
38 x 88
= 33
Number of pomegranates that Will had left
= 88 - 33
= 55
Fraction of the fruits left that were pomegranates
= 1 -
110=
910 Number of chikoos left = 1 u = 28
Number of pomegranates left in the end
= 9 u
= 9 x 28
= 252
Number of pomegranates that Will bought
= 252 - 55
= 197
Answer(s): 197
