A container contains some chikoos, pears and pomegranates. 0.2 of the chikoos is equal to 70% of the pears. The number of pomegranates is ²₅ of the total number of pears and chikoos. If there are 16 more pomegranates than pears, how many fruits are there in the container altogether?

Chikoos	Pears	Pomegranates
7x5	2x5
5x9		2x9
35 u	10 u	18 u

0.2 = ²₁₀= ¹₅
70% = ⁷⁰₁₀₀ = ⁷₁₀

0.2 of the chikoos is equal to 70% of the pears. Make the numerators the same.  LCM of 1 and 7 is 7.

1x75x7 of the chikoos = 7x110x1 of the pears
735 of the chikoos = 710 of the pears 

Chikoos : Pears
35 : 10 _(÷5)
7 : 2

The total number of chikoos and pears is repeated.  Make the total number of chikoos and pears the same.  LCM of 9 and 5 is 45.

Number of more pomegranates than pears
= 18 u - 10 u
= 8 u

8 u = 16

1 u = 16 ÷ 8 = 2

Number of the fruits in the container altogether
= 35 u + 10 u + 18 u
= 63 u
= 63 x 2
= 126

Answer(s): 126
