Starfruits |
Comparing chikoos and starfruits at first |
40 more |

Before |
4x5 = 20 u |
+ 40 |
5x4 = 20 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
- 30 |
- 1x4 = - 4 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
+ 10 |
4x4 = 16 u |
Comparing chikoos and starfruits in the end |

100 more |
75% =
75100 =
34 75% x 40 =
34 x 40 = 30
40 - 30 = 10
20% =
20100 =
15 The number of starfruits is 100 more than the number of chikoos in the end. So, if another 100 chikoos are added, the number of chikoos and starfruits in the end will be the same.
5 u + 10 + 100 = 16 u
5 u + 110 = 16 u
16 u - 5 u = 110
11 u = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 11 = 10
Number of starfruits left
= 16 u
= 16 x 10
= 160
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 10 + 16 u
= 21 u + 10
= 21 x 10 + 10
= 210 + 10
= 220
