In a box, there are some chikoos and passion fruits. If 54 passion fruits are removed from the box, the percentage of passion fruits will increase from 25% to 70%. How many passion fruits are there in the box?

Chikoos |
Passion fruits |
| Before |
1x7 =
7 u |
3x7 =
21 u |
| Change |
No change |
- 54 |
| After |
7x1 =
7 u |
3x1 =
3 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 70% =
70100 =
710 The number of chikoos remains unchanged at first and in the end. Make the number of chikoos the same. LCM of 7 and 1 is 7.
Number of passion fruits removed
= 21 u - 3 u
= 18 u
18 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 18 = 3
Number of passion fruits
= 21 u
= 21 x 3
= 63
Answer(s): 63
