Number of pomegranates at first in percent = 100%
Number of oranges at first in percent
= 100% + 90%
= 190%

= 40% x 10 u
=
40100 x 10 u
= 4 u
Number of more oranges than pomegranates in the end
= 19 u - 6 u
= 13 u
13 u = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 13 = 10
Total number of pomegranates and oranges at first
= 19 u + 10 u
= 29 u
= 29 x 10
= 290
Answer(s): 290
