Before |
4x5 = 20 u |
+ 32 |
5x4 = 20 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
- 24 |
- 2x4 = - 8 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
+ 8 |
3x4 = 12 u |
Comparing passion fruits and lemons in the end |

25 The number of lemons is 48 more than the number of passion fruits in the end. So, if another 48 passion fruits are added, the number of passion fruits and lemons in the end will be the same.
5 u + 8 + 48 = 12 u
5 u + 56 = 12 u
12 u - 5 u = 56
7 u = 56
1 u = 56 ÷ 7 = 8
Number of lemons left
= 12 u
= 12 x 8
= 96
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 8 + 12 u
= 17 u + 8
= 17 x 8 + 8
= 136 + 8
= 144
