Number of pomegranates at first in percent = 100%
Number of lemons at first in percent
= 100% + 75%
= 175%

175100 =
74Number of pomegranates sold
= 50% x 4 u
=
50100 x 4 u
= 2 u
Number of more lemons than pomegranates in the end
= 7 u - 2 u
= 5 u
5 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 5 = 10
Total number of pomegranates and lemons at first
= 7 u + 4 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 10
= 110
