A container contains some passion fruits, chikoos and lemons. 0.4 of the passion fruits is equal to 30% of the chikoos. The number of lemons is ⁴₅ of the total number of chikoos and passion fruits. If there are 80 more lemons than chikoos, how many fruits are there in the container altogether?

Passion Fruits	Chikoos	Lemons
3x5	4x5
5x7		4x7
15 u	20 u	28 u

0.4 = ⁴₁₀= ²₅
30% = ³⁰₁₀₀ = ³₁₀

0.4 of the passion fruits is equal to 30% of the chikoos. Make the numerators the same.  LCM of 2 and 3 is 6.

2x35x3 of the passion fruits = 3x210x2 of the chikoos
615 of the passion fruits = 620 of the chikoos 

Passion Fruits : Chikoos
15 : 20 _(÷5)
3 : 4

The total number of passion fruits and chikoos is repeated.  Make the total number of passion fruits and chikoos the same.  LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.

Number of more lemons than chikoos
= 28 u - 20 u
= 8 u

8 u = 80

1 u = 80 ÷ 8 = 10

Number of the fruits in the container altogether
= 15 u + 20 u + 28 u
= 63 u
= 63 x 10
= 630

Answer(s): 630
