In a container, there are some passion fruits and pomegranates. If 22 pomegranates are removed from the container, the percentage of pomegranates will increase from 25% to 80%. How many pomegranates are there in the container?
|
Passion fruits |
Pomegranates |
Before |
1x4 = 4 u |
3x4 = 12 u |
Change |
No change |
- 22 |
After |
4x1 = 4 u |
1x1 = 1 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 80% =
80100 =
45 The number of passion fruits remains unchanged at first and in the end. Make the number of passion fruits the same. LCM of 4 and 1 is 4.
Number of pomegranates removed
= 12 u - 1 u
= 11 u
11 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 11 = 2
Number of pomegranates
= 12 u
= 12 x 2
= 24
Answer(s): 24
