Total |
| Before |
3 u |
8 u |
11 u |
| Change |
- 1.2 u |
- 44 |
|
| After |
1.8 u |
3.6 u |
|
Number of passion fruits sold
=
25 x 3 u
= 1.2 u
Number of passion fruits left
= 3 u - 1.2 u
= 1.8 u
Number of kiwis left
= 2 x 1.8 u
= 3.6 u
Number of kiwis sold
= 8 u - 3.6 u
= 4.4 u
4.4 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 4.4 = 10
Number of passion fruits and kiwis at first
= 3 u + 8 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 10
= 110
Answer(s): 110
