Number of apples at first in percent = 100%
Number of mangoes at first in percent
= 100% + 80%
= 180%

95Number of apples sold
= 60% x 5 u
=
60100 x 5 u
= 3 u
Number of more mangoes than apples in the end
= 9 u - 2 u
= 7 u
7 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 7 = 4
Total number of apples and mangoes at first
= 9 u + 5 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 4
= 56
