Passion Fruits |
Chikoos |
Total |
| Before |
4 u |
11 u |
15 u |
| Change |
- 2.4 u |
- 117 |
|
| After |
1.6 u |
3.2 u |
|
Number of passion fruits sold
=
35 x 4 u
= 2.4 u
Number of passion fruits left
= 4 u - 2.4 u
= 1.6 u
Number of chikoos left
= 2 x 1.6 u
= 3.2 u
Number of chikoos sold
= 11 u - 3.2 u
= 7.8 u
7.8 u = 117
1 u = 117 ÷ 7.8 = 15
Number of passion fruits and chikoos at first
= 4 u + 11 u
= 15 u
= 15 x 15
= 225
Answer(s): 225
