Number of pears at first in percent = 100%
Number of chikoos at first in percent
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
ChikoosPears =
120100 =
65Number of pears sold
= 40% x 5 u
=
40100 x 5 u
= 2 u
Number of more chikoos than pears in the end
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 15
1 u = 15 ÷ 3 = 5
Total number of pears and chikoos at first
= 6 u + 5 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 5
= 55
