Mr Ivan sold some chikoos, apples and passion fruits. The ratio of the number of chikoos sold to the total number of fruits sold was 2 : 7. The ratio of the number of apples sold to the number of passion fruits sold was 6 : 19. He sold 90 more passion fruits than chikoos. Find the total number of fruits that he sold.

The total number of apples and passion fruits is repeated. Make the total number of apples and passion fruits the same. LCM of 5 and 25 is 25.
Number of more passion fruits than chikoos
= 19 u - 10 u
= 9 u
9 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 9 = 10
Total number of fruits that Mr Ivan sold
= 35 u
= 35 x 10
= 350
Answer(s): 350
