2 u |
11 u |
13 u |
| Change |
- 1.6 u |
- 141 |
|
| After |
0.4 u |
1.6 u |
|
Number of passion fruits sold
=
45 x 2 u
= 1.6 u
Number of passion fruits left
= 2 u - 1.6 u
= 0.4 u
Number of mangoes left
= 4 x 0.4 u
= 1.6 u
Number of mangoes sold
= 11 u - 1.6 u
= 9.4 u
9.4 u = 141
1 u = 141 ÷ 9.4 = 15
Number of passion fruits and mangoes at first
= 2 u + 11 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 15
= 195
Answer(s): 195
