A container contains some apples, chikoos and pears. 0.2 of the apples is equal to 60% of the chikoos. The number of pears is ⁵₈ of the total number of chikoos and apples. If there are 30 more pears than chikoos, how many fruits are there in the container altogether?

Apples	Chikoos	Pears
3x2	1x2
8x1		5x1
6 u	2 u	5 u

0.2 = ²₁₀= ¹₅
60% = ⁶⁰₁₀₀ = ³₅

0.2 of the apples is equal to 60% of the chikoos. Make the numerators the same.  LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.

1x35x3 of the apples = 3x15x1 of the chikoos
315 of the apples = 35 of the chikoos 

Apples : Chikoos
15 : 5 _(÷5)
3 : 1

The total number of apples and chikoos is repeated.  Make the total number of apples and chikoos the same.  LCM of 4 and 8 is 8.

Number of more pears than chikoos
= 5 u - 2 u
= 3 u

3 u = 30

1 u = 30 ÷ 3 = 10

Number of the fruits in the container altogether
= 6 u + 2 u + 5 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 10
= 130

Answer(s): 130
