Number of lemons at first in percent = 100%
Number of kiwis at first in percent
= 100% + 25%
= 125%

54Number of lemons sold
= 75% x 4 u
=
75100 x 4 u
= 3 u
Number of more kiwis than lemons in the end
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
4 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 4 = 5
Total number of lemons and kiwis at first
= 5 u + 4 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 5
= 45
