Number of pomegranates at first in percent = 100%
Number of pears at first in percent
= 100% + 90%
= 190%
PearsPomegranates =
190100 =
1910Number of pomegranates sold
= 60% x 10 u
=
60100 x 10 u
= 6 u
Number of more pears than pomegranates in the end
= 19 u - 4 u
= 15 u
15 u = 105
1 u = 105 ÷ 15 = 7
Total number of pomegranates and pears at first
= 19 u + 10 u
= 29 u
= 29 x 7
= 203
Answer(s): 203
