In a container, there are some oranges and chikoos. If 14 chikoos are removed from the container, the percentage of chikoos will increase from 25% to 60%. How many chikoos are there in the container?
|
Oranges |
Chikoos |
Before |
1x3 = 3 u |
3x3 = 9 u |
Change |
No change |
- 14 |
After |
3x1 = 3 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 60% =
60100 =
35 The number of oranges remains unchanged at first and in the end. Make the number of oranges the same. LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
Number of chikoos removed
= 9 u - 2 u
= 7 u
7 u = 14
1 u = 14 ÷ 7 = 2
Number of chikoos
= 9 u
= 9 x 2
= 18
Answer(s): 18
