Number of mangoes at first in percent = 100%
Number of lemons at first in percent
= 100% + 75%
= 175%

175100 =
74Number of mangoes sold
= 25% x 4 u
=
25100 x 4 u
= 1 u
Number of more lemons than mangoes in the end
= 7 u - 3 u
= 4 u
4 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 4 = 6
Total number of mangoes and lemons at first
= 7 u + 4 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 6
= 66
