There were some pomegranates in 3 bags, F, G and H. 25% of the number of pomegranates in Bag F was equal to 10% of the number of pomegranates in Bag G. The number of pomegranates in Bag H was 60% of the total number of pomegranates. After Lee removed 25% of the pomegranates in Bag H, there were 230 more pomegranates in Bag H than in Bag G. In the end, how many pomegranates should be transferred from Bag G to Bag H so that the number of pomegranates in Bag F would be the same as Bag G?

35The total number of pomegranates in Bag F and Bag G is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of pomegranates in Box F and Bag G the same. LCM of 7 and 2 = 14
Number of pomegranates removed from Bag H
=
25100 x 21 u
= 5.25 u
Number of pomegranates left in Bag H
= 21 u - 5.25 u
= 15.75 u
Number of more pomegranates in Bag H than Bag G
= 15.75 u - 10 u
= 5.75 u
5.75 u = 230
1 u = 230 ÷ 5.75 = 40

Number of pomegranates to be transferred from Bag G to Bag H so that the number of pomegranates in Bag F would be the same as Bag G.
= 10 u - 4 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 40
= 240
Answer(s): 240
