Number of chikoos at first in percent = 100%
Number of oranges at first in percent
= 100% + 80%
= 180%

95Number of chikoos sold
= 40% x 5 u
=
40100 x 5 u
= 2 u
Number of more oranges than chikoos in the end
= 9 u - 3 u
= 6 u
6 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 6 = 10
Total number of chikoos and oranges at first
= 9 u + 5 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 10
= 140
Answer(s): 140
