Mr Glen sold some pomegranates, kiwis and chikoos. The ratio of the number of pomegranates sold to the total number of fruits sold was 3 : 10. The ratio of the number of kiwis sold to the number of chikoos sold was 4 : 17. He sold 96 more chikoos than pomegranates. Find the total number of fruits that he sold.

The total number of kiwis and chikoos is repeated. Make the total number of kiwis and chikoos the same. LCM of 7 and 21 is 21.
Number of more chikoos than pomegranates
= 17 u - 9 u
= 8 u
8 u = 96
1 u = 96 ÷ 8 = 12
Total number of fruits that Mr Glen sold
= 30 u
= 30 x 12
= 360
Answer(s): 360
