A container contains some apples, chikoos and passion fruits. 0.6 of the apples is equal to 80% of the chikoos. The number of passion fruits is
45 of the total number of chikoos and apples. If there are 65 less chikoos than passion fruits, how many fruits are there in the container altogether?

45 0.6 of the apples is equal to 80% of the chikoos. Make the numerators the same. LCM of 3 and 4 is 12.
3x45x4 of the apples =
4x35x3 of the chikoos
1220 of the apples =
1215 of the chikoos
Apples : Chikoos
20 : 15
(÷5)
4 : 3
The total number of apples and chikoos is repeated. Make the total number of apples and chikoos the same. LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.
Number of less chikoos than passion fruits
= 28 u - 15 u
= 13 u
13 u = 65
1 u = 65 ÷ 13 = 5
Number of the fruits in the container altogether
= 20 u + 15 u + 28 u
= 63 u
= 63 x 5
= 315
Answer(s): 315
