Number of lemons at first in percent = 100%
Number of starfruits at first in percent
= 100% + 30%
= 130%

= 10% x 10 u
=
10100 x 10 u
= 1 u
Number of more starfruits than lemons in the end
= 13 u - 9 u
= 4 u
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Total number of lemons and starfruits at first
= 13 u + 10 u
= 23 u
= 23 x 8
= 184
