The number of limes Vaidev bought in March was 20% more than in February. In April, he bought 60% less limes than in March. If there were 104 less limes in April than February, how many limes did Vaidev buy in March?
| February |

| 25 u |
30 u |
12 u |
100% + 20 = 120%
120% =
120100 =
65March : February = 6 : 5
100% - 60% = 40%
40% =
40100 =
25 April : March = 2 : 5
The number of limes in March is repeated. Make the number of limes in March is the same. LCM of 6 and 5 is 30.
Number of less limes in April than February
= 25 u - 12 u
= 13 u
13 u = 104
1 u = 104 ÷ 13 = 8
Number of limes that Vaidev bought in March
= 30 u
= 30 x 8
= 240
Answer(s): 240
