Number of persimmons at first in percent = 100%
Number of mangosteens at first in percent
= 100% + 30%
= 130%

1310Number of persimmons sold
= 80% x 10 u
=
80100 x 10 u
= 8 u
Number of more mangosteens than persimmons in the end
= 13 u - 2 u
= 11 u
11 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 11 = 2
Total number of persimmons and mangosteens at first
= 13 u + 10 u
= 23 u
= 23 x 2
= 46
Answer(s): 46
