Number of oranges at first in percent = 100%
Number of pomegranates at first in percent
= 100% + 60%
= 160%
PomegranatesOranges =
160100 =
85Number of oranges sold
= 80% x 5 u
=
80100 x 5 u
= 4 u
Number of more pomegranates than oranges in the end
= 8 u - 1 u
= 7 u
7 u = 49
1 u = 49 ÷ 7 = 7
Total number of oranges and pomegranates at first
= 8 u + 5 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 7
= 91
Answer(s): 91
