There were some lemons, pomegranates and chikoos. The number of lemons was five times the number of pomegranates. The total number of lemons and pomegranates was half of the number of chikoos. There were 180 fruits altogether. All the chikoos were sold at 4 for $8. How much money was collected from the sale of the chikoos?
Number of pomegranates = 1 u
Number of lemons = 5 u

Total number of pomegranates and lemons
= 1 u + 5 u
= 6 u

Number of chikoos
= 2 x 6 u
= 12 u

Total number of fruits
= 1 u + 5 u + 12 u
= 18 u

18 u = 180

1 u = 180 ÷ 18 = 10

Number of chikoos sold
= 12 u
= 12 x 10
= 120

Number of sets of 4 chikoos
= 120 ÷ 4
= 30

Amount collected from the sale of chikoos
= 30 x 8
= $240

Answer(s): $240
