A container contains some chikoos, apples and mangoes. 0.4 of the chikoos is equal to 80% of the apples. The number of mangoes is ³₅ of the total number of apples and chikoos. If there are 32 less apples than mangoes, how many fruits are there in the container altogether?

Chikoos	Apples	Mangoes
2x5	1x5
5x3		3x3
10 u	5 u	9 u

0.4 = ⁴₁₀= ²₅
80% = ⁸⁰₁₀₀ = ⁴₅

0.4 of the chikoos is equal to 80% of the apples. Make the numerators the same.  LCM of 2 and 4 is 4.

2x25x2 of the chikoos = 4x15x1 of the apples
410 of the chikoos = 45 of the apples 

Chikoos : Apples
10 : 5 _(÷5)
2 : 1

The total number of chikoos and apples is repeated.  Make the total number of chikoos and apples the same.  LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.

Number of less apples than mangoes
= 9 u - 5 u
= 4 u

4 u = 32

1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8

Number of the fruits in the container altogether
= 10 u + 5 u + 9 u
= 24 u
= 24 x 8
= 192

Answer(s): 192
