Number of chikoos at first in percent = 100%
Number of pomegranates at first in percent
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
PomegranatesChikoos =
120100 =
65Number of chikoos sold
= 40% x 5 u
=
40100 x 5 u
= 2 u
Number of more pomegranates than chikoos in the end
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Total number of chikoos and pomegranates at first
= 6 u + 5 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 8
= 88
Answer(s): 88
