There were some chikoos and kiwis in Container G and Container H. In Container G, the ratio of the chikoos to the number of kiwis was 7 : 1. In Container H, the ratio of the number of chikoos to the number of kiwis was 5 : 3. There were 2 times as many fruits in Container G as in Container H. After another 85 kiwis were put into Container H, the ratio of the number of chikoos to the number of kiwis in Container H became 1 : 4. How many fruits were there in Container H in the end?

Container G		Container H
2x8 = 16 u		1x8 = 8 u
Chikoos	Kiwis	Chikoos	Kiwis
7x2	1x2	5	3
14 u	2 u	5 u	3 u

The total number of fruits in Container G is repeated.  Make the total number of fruits in Container G the same.  LCM of 2 and 8 is 16.

The total number of fruits in Container H at first is repeated.  Make the total number of fruits in Container H the same.  LCM of 1 and 8 is 8.

	Container G		Container H
	Chikoos	Kiwis	Chikoos	Kiwis
Before	14 u	2 u	5 u	3 u
Change				+ 85
After	14 u	2 u	1x5 = 5 u	4x5 = 20 u

Number of chikoos in Container H remains unchanged.  Make the number of chikoos in Container H the same.  LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.

Number of kiwis put into Container H
= 20 u - 3 u
= 17 u

17 u = 85

1 u = 85 ÷ 17 = 5

Number of fruits in Container H in the end
= 5 u + 20 u
= 25 u
= 25 x 5
= 125

Answer(s): 125
