Oranges |
Passion fruits |
Comparing oranges and passion fruits at first |
|
24 less |
Before |
4x5 = 20 u |
+ 24 |
10x2 = 20 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
- 18 |
- 3x2 = - 6 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
+ 6 |
7x2 = 14 u |
Comparing oranges and passion fruits in the end |
21 less |
|
75% =
75100 =
34 75% x 24 =
34 x 24 = 18
24 - 18 = 6
30% =
30100 =
310 The number of oranges is 21 less than the number of passion fruits in the end. So, if another 21 oranges are added, the number of oranges and passion fruits in the end will be the same.
5 u + 6 + 21 = 14 u
5 u + 27 = 14 u
14 u - 5 u = 27
9 u = 27
1 u = 27 ÷ 9 = 3
Number of oranges left
= 5 u + 6
= 5 x 3 + 6
= 15 + 6
= 21
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 6 + 14 u
= 19 u + 6
= 19 x 3 + 6
= 57 + 6
= 63
Oranges leftTotal fruits left =
2163 =
