A box contains some chikoos, passion fruits and starfruits. 0.2 of the chikoos is equal to 40% of the passion fruits. The number of starfruits is ³₄ of the total number of passion fruits and chikoos. If there are 25 less passion fruits than starfruits, how many fruits are there in the box altogether?

Chikoos	Passion Fruits	Starfruits
2x4	1x4
4x3		3x3
8 u	4 u	9 u

0.2 = ²₁₀= ¹₅
40% = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ = ²₅

0.2 of the chikoos is equal to 40% of the passion fruits. Make the numerators the same.  LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.

1x25x2 of the chikoos = 2x15x1 of the passion fruits
210 of the chikoos = 25 of the passion fruits 

Chikoos : Passion Fruits
10 : 5 _(÷5)
2 : 1

The total number of chikoos and passion fruits is repeated.  Make the total number of chikoos and passion fruits the same.  LCM of 3 and 4 is 12.

Number of less passion fruits than starfruits
= 9 u - 4 u
= 5 u

5 u = 25

1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5

Number of the fruits in the box altogether
= 8 u + 4 u + 9 u
= 21 u
= 21 x 5
= 105

Answer(s): 105
