100% + 10 = 110%

1110June : May = 11 : 10
100% - 75% = 25%
25% =
25100 =
14 July : June = 1 : 4
The number of dragon fruits in June is repeated. Make the number of dragon fruits in June is the same. LCM of 11 and 4 is 44.
Number of more dragon fruits in May than July
= 40 u - 11 u
= 29 u
29 u = 203
1 u = 203 ÷ 29 = 7
Number of dragon fruits that Archie bought in May
= 40 u
= 40 x 7
= 280
Answer(s): 280
