In a container, there are some starfruits and chikoos. If 36 chikoos are removed from the container, the percentage of chikoos will increase from 30% to 75%. How many chikoos are there in the container?
|
Starfruits |
Chikoos |
Before |
3x1 = 3 u |
7x1 = 7 u |
Change |
No change |
- 36 |
After |
3x1 = 3 u |
1x1 = 1 u |
30% =
30100 =
310 75% =
75100 =
34 The number of starfruits remains unchanged at first and in the end. Make the number of starfruits the same. LCM of 3 and 3 is 3.
Number of chikoos removed
= 7 u - 1 u
= 6 u
6 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 6 = 6
Number of chikoos
= 7 u
= 7 x 6
= 42
Answer(s): 42
