There were some dragonfruits in 3 bags, H, J and K. 20% of the number of dragonfruits in Bag H was equal to 10% of the number of dragonfruits in Bag J. The number of dragonfruits in Bag K was 60% of the total number of dragonfruits. After Elijah removed 10% of the dragonfruits in Bag K, there were 82 more dragonfruits in Bag K than in Bag J. In the end, how many dragonfruits should be transferred from Bag J to Bag K so that the number of dragonfruits in Bag H would be the same as Bag J?

35The total number of dragonfruits in Bag H and Bag J is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of dragonfruits in Box H and Bag J the same. LCM of 3 and 2 = 6
Number of dragonfruits removed from Bag K
=
10100 x 9 u
= 0.9 u
Number of dragonfruits left in Bag K
= 9 u - 0.9 u
= 8.1 u
Number of more dragonfruits in Bag K than Bag J
= 8.1 u - 4 u
= 4.1 u
4.1 u = 82
1 u = 82 ÷ 4.1 = 20

Number of dragonfruits to be transferred from Bag J to Bag K so that the number of dragonfruits in Bag H would be the same as Bag J.
= 4 u - 2 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 20
= 40
Answer(s): 40
