Number of lemons at first in percent = 100%
Number of kiwis at first in percent
= 100% + 20%
= 120%

120100 =
65Number of lemons sold
= 80% x 5 u
=
80100 x 5 u
= 4 u
Number of more kiwis than lemons in the end
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 15
1 u = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Total number of lemons and kiwis at first
= 6 u + 5 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 3
= 33
Answer(s): 33
