In a container, there are some starfruits and passion fruits. If 48 passion fruits are removed from the container, the percentage of passion fruits will increase from 25% to 75%. How many passion fruits are there in the container?

Starfruits |
Passion fruits |
| Before |
1x3 =
3 u |
3x3 =
9 u |
| Change |
No change |
- 48 |
| After |
3x1 =
3 u |
1x1 =
1 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 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 1 is 3.
Number of passion fruits removed
= 9 u - 1 u
= 8 u
8 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 8 = 6
Number of passion fruits
= 9 u
= 9 x 6
= 54
Answer(s): 54
