Number of lemons at first in percent = 100%
Number of pomegranates at first in percent
= 100% + 70%
= 170%
PomegranatesLemons =
170100 =
1710Number of lemons sold
= 80% x 10 u
=
80100 x 10 u
= 8 u
Number of more pomegranates than lemons in the end
= 17 u - 2 u
= 15 u
15 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 15 = 10
Total number of lemons and pomegranates at first
= 17 u + 10 u
= 27 u
= 27 x 10
= 270
Answer(s): 270
