In a container, there are some pomegranates and mangoes. If 35 mangoes are removed from the container, the percentage of mangoes will increase from 25% to 60%. How many mangoes are there in the container?
|
Pomegranates |
Mangoes |
Before |
1x3 = 3 u |
3x3 = 9 u |
Change |
No change |
- 35 |
After |
3x1 = 3 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 60% =
60100 =
35 The number of pomegranates remains unchanged at first and in the end. Make the number of pomegranates the same. LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
Number of mangoes removed
= 9 u - 2 u
= 7 u
7 u = 35
1 u = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
Number of mangoes
= 9 u
= 9 x 5
= 45
Answer(s): 45
