Number of pears at first in percent = 100%
Number of pomegranates at first in percent
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
PomegranatesPears =
120100 =
65Number of pears sold
= 80% x 5 u
=
80100 x 5 u
= 4 u
Number of more pomegranates than pears in the end
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Total number of pears and pomegranates at first
= 6 u + 5 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 12
= 132
Answer(s): 132
