In a container, there are some mangoes and passion fruits. If 25 passion fruits are removed from the container, the percentage of passion fruits will increase from 40% to 60%. How many passion fruits are there in the container?

Mangoes |
Passion fruits |
| Before |
2x3 =
6 u |
3x3 =
9 u |
| Change |
No change |
- 25 |
| After |
3x2 =
6 u |
2x2 =
4 u |
40% =
40100 =
25 60% =
60100 =
35 The number of mangoes remains unchanged at first and in the end. Make the number of mangoes the same. LCM of 3 and 2 is 6.
Number of passion fruits removed
= 9 u - 4 u
= 5 u
5 u = 25
1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Number of passion fruits
= 9 u
= 9 x 5
= 45
Answer(s): 45
