There were some mangosteens and pomegranates in Container G and Container H. In Container G, the ratio of the mangosteens to the number of pomegranates was 7 : 1. In Container H, the ratio of the number of mangosteens to the number of pomegranates was 5 : 3. There were 2 times as many fruits in Container G as in Container H. After another 35 pomegranates were put into Container H, the ratio of the number of mangosteens to the number of pomegranates in Container H became 1 : 2. How many fruits were there in Container G?

Container G		Container H
2x8 = 16 u		1x8 = 8 u
Mangosteens	Pomegranates	Mangosteens	Pomegranates
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
	Mangosteens	Pomegranates	Mangosteens	Pomegranates
Before	14 u	2 u	5 u	3 u
Change				+ 35
After	14 u	2 u	1x5 = 5 u	2x5 = 10 u

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

Number of pomegranates put into Container H
= 10 u - 3 u
= 7 u

7 u = 35

1 u = 35 ÷ 7 = 5

Number of fruits in Container G
= 14 u + 2 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 5
= 80

Answer(s): 80
