Number of starfruits at first in percent = 100%
Number of mangoes at first in percent
= 100% + 60%
= 160%

160100 =
85Number of starfruits sold
= 40% x 5 u
=
40100 x 5 u
= 2 u
Number of more mangoes than starfruits in the end
= 8 u - 3 u
= 5 u
5 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 5 = 8
Total number of starfruits and mangoes at first
= 8 u + 5 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 8
= 104
