In a box, there are some pomegranates and chikoos. If 55 chikoos are removed from the box, the percentage of chikoos will increase from 25% to 80%. How many chikoos are there in the box?

Pomegranates |
Chikoos |
| Before |
1x4 =
4 u |
3x4 =
12 u |
| Change |
No change |
- 55 |
| After |
4x1 =
4 u |
1x1 =
1 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 80% =
80100 =
45 The number of pomegranates remains unchanged at first and in the end. Make the number of pomegranates the same. LCM of 4 and 1 is 4.
Number of chikoos removed
= 12 u - 1 u
= 11 u
11 u = 55
1 u = 55 ÷ 11 = 5
Number of chikoos
= 12 u
= 12 x 5
= 60
Answer(s): 60
