Number of apples at first in percent = 100%
Number of oranges at first in percent
= 100% + 60%
= 160%

= 40% x 5 u
=
40100 x 5 u
= 2 u
Number of more oranges than apples in the end
= 8 u - 3 u
= 5 u
5 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 5 = 10
Total number of apples and oranges at first
= 8 u + 5 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 10
= 130
