Persimmons |
Comparing chikoos and persimmons at first |
24 more |
|
Before |
4x5 = 20 u |
+ 24 |
20x1 = 20 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
- 18 |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
+ 6 |
13x1 = 13 u |
Comparing chikoos and persimmons in the end |
66 less |

75% =
75100 =
34 75% x 24 =
34 x 24 = 18
24 - 18 = 6
35% =
35100 =
720 The number of chikoos is 66 less than the number of persimmons in the end. So, if another 66 chikoos are added, the number of chikoos and persimmons in the end will be the same.
5 u + 6 + 66 = 13 u
5 u + 72 = 13 u
13 u - 5 u = 72
8 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 8 = 9
Number of persimmons left
= 13 u
= 13 x 9
= 117
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 6 + 13 u
= 18 u + 6
= 18 x 9 + 6
= 162 + 6
= 168
Persimmons leftTotal fruits left =
117168 =
