Number of lemons at first in percent = 100%
Number of mangoes at first in percent
= 100% + 75%

74Number of lemons sold
= 50% x 4 u
=
50100 x 4 u
= 2 u
Number of more mangoes than lemons in the end
= 7 u - 2 u
= 5 u
5 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 5 = 6
Total number of lemons and mangoes at first
= 7 u + 4 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 6
= 66
