There were some guavas in 3 bags, U, V and W. 25% of the number of guavas in Bag U was equal to 10% of the number of guavas in Bag V. The number of guavas in Bag W was 70% of the total number of guavas. After Luke removed 20% of the guavas in Bag W, there were 968 more guavas in Bag W than in Bag V. In the end, how many guavas should be transferred from Bag V to Bag W so that the number of guavas in Bag U would be the same as Bag V?

710The total number of guavas in Bag U and Bag V is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of guavas in Box U and Bag V the same. LCM of 7 and 3 = 21
Number of guavas removed from Bag W
=
20100 x 49 u
= 9.8 u
Number of guavas left in Bag W
= 49 u - 9.8 u
= 39.2 u
Number of more guavas in Bag W than Bag V
= 39.2 u - 15 u
= 24.2 u
24.2 u = 968
1 u = 968 ÷ 24.2 = 40

Number of guavas to be transferred from Bag V to Bag W so that the number of guavas in Bag U would be the same as Bag V.
= 15 u - 6 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 40
= 360
Answer(s): 360
