There was an equal number of pears and dragonfruits. On Tuesday, some pears were added, such that the number of pears increased by 60%. On Wednesday, the number of pears further increased by 50% and the number of dragonfruits decreased by 20%. There were 48 more pears than dragonfruits in the end. How many pears and dragonfruits were there altogether at first?

	Pears	Dragonfruits
Before	1 u	1 u
Change 1	+ 0.6 u	No change
After 1	1.6 u	1 u
Change 2	+ 0.8 u	- 0.2 u
After 2	2.4 u	0.8 u

Number of pears added on Tuesday
= 60% x 1 u
= ⁶⁰₁₀₀ x 1 u
= 0.6 u

Number of pears increased on Wednesday
= 50% x 1.6 u
= ⁵⁰₁₀₀ x 1.6 u
= 0.8 u

Number of dragonfruits decreased on Wednesday
= 20% x 1 u
= ²⁰₁₀₀ x 1 u
= 0.2 u

Number of more pears than dragonfruits in the end
= 2.4 u - 0.8 u
= 1.6 u

1.6 u = 48

1 u = 48 ÷ 1.6 = 30

Total number of pears and dragonfruits at first
= 1 u + 1 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 30
= 60

Answer(s): 60
