There were some passion fruits in 3 bags, K, L and M. 20% of the number of passion fruits in Bag K was equal to 10% of the number of passion fruits in Bag L. The number of passion fruits in Bag M was 60% of the total number of passion fruits. After Luke removed 10% of the passion fruits in Bag M, there were 164 more passion fruits in Bag M than in Bag L. In the end, how many passion fruits should be transferred from Bag L to Bag M so that the number of passion fruits in Bag K would be the same as Bag L?

35The total number of passion fruits in Bag K and Bag L is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of passion fruits in Box K and Bag L the same. LCM of 3 and 2 = 6
Number of passion fruits removed from Bag M
=
10100 x 9 u
= 0.9 u
Number of passion fruits left in Bag M
= 9 u - 0.9 u
= 8.1 u
Number of more passion fruits in Bag M than Bag L
= 8.1 u - 4 u
= 4.1 u
4.1 u = 164
1 u = 164 ÷ 4.1 = 40

Number of passion fruits to be transferred from Bag L to Bag M so that the number of passion fruits in Bag K would be the same as Bag L.
= 4 u - 2 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 40
= 80
Answer(s): 80
