Number of chikoos at first in percent = 100%
Number of pomegranates at first in percent
= 100% + 60%
= 160%
PomegranatesChikoos =
160100 =
85Number of chikoos sold
= 20% x 5 u
=
20100 x 5 u
= 1 u
Number of more pomegranates than chikoos in the end
= 8 u - 4 u
= 4 u
4 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 4 = 12
Total number of chikoos and pomegranates at first
= 8 u + 5 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 12
= 156
Answer(s): 156
