45 80% x 40 =
45 x 40 = 32
40 - 32 = 8
35% =
35100 =
720 The number of chikoos is 46 less than the number of lemons in the end. So, if another 46 chikoos are added, the number of chikoos and lemons in the end will be the same.
4 u + 8 + 46 = 13 u
4 u + 54 = 13 u
13 u - 4 u = 54
9 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 9 = 6
Number of chikoos left
= 4 u + 8
= 4 x 6 + 8
= 24 + 8
= 32
Total number of fruits left
= 4 u + 8 + 13 u
= 17 u + 8
= 17 x 6 + 8
= 102 + 8
= 110
