Number of lemons at first in percent = 100%
Number of starfruits at first in percent
= 100% + 80%
= 180%

180100 =
95Number of lemons sold
= 60% x 5 u
=
60100 x 5 u
= 3 u
Number of more starfruits than lemons in the end
= 9 u - 2 u
= 7 u
7 u = 56
1 u = 56 ÷ 7 = 8
Total number of lemons and starfruits at first
= 9 u + 5 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 8
= 112
Answer(s): 112
