A store owner has 80 less chikoos than pomegranates. After he sold 80% of the chikoos and 35% of the pomegranates, he is left with 65 less chikoos than pomegranates. What fraction of the fruits left were chikoos?

Chikoos |
Pomegranates |
Comparing chikoos and pomegranates at first |
|
80 less |
Before |
5x4 = 20 u |
+ 80 |
20x1 = 20 u |
Change |
- 4x4 = - 16 u |
- 64 |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
After |
1x4 = 4 u |
+ 16 |
13x1 = 13 u |
Comparing chikoos and pomegranates in the end |
65 less |

80% =
80100 =
45 80% x 80 =
45 x 80 = 64
80 - 64 = 16
35% =
35100 =
720 The number of chikoos is 65 less than the number of pomegranates in the end. So, if another 65 chikoos are added, the number of chikoos and pomegranates in the end will be the same.
4 u + 16 + 65 = 13 u
4 u + 81 = 13 u
13 u - 4 u = 81
9 u = 81
1 u = 81 ÷ 9 = 9
Number of chikoos left
= 4 u + 16
= 4 x 9 + 16
= 36 + 16
= 52
Total number of fruits left
= 4 u + 16 + 13 u
= 17 u + 16
= 17 x 9 + 16
= 153 + 16
= 169
