There were some mangoes in 3 boxes, G, H and J. 25% of the number of mangoes in Box G was equal to 10% of the number of mangoes in Box H. The number of mangoes in Box J was 60% of the total number of mangoes. After Paul removed 10% of the mangoes in Box J, there were 445 more mangoes in Box J than in Box H. In the end, how many mangoes should be transferred from Box H to Box J so that the number of mangoes in Box G would be the same as Box H?

35The total number of mangoes in Box G and Box H is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of mangoes in Box G and Box H the same. LCM of 7 and 2 = 14
Number of mangoes removed from Box J
=
10100 x 21 u
= 2.1 u
Number of mangoes left in Box J
= 21 u - 2.1 u
= 18.9 u
Number of more mangoes in Box J than Box H
= 18.9 u - 10 u
= 8.9 u
8.9 u = 445
1 u = 445 ÷ 8.9 = 50

Number of mangoes to be transferred from Box H to Box J so that the number of mangoes in Box G would be the same as Box H.
= 10 u - 4 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 50
= 300
Answer(s): 300
