35 x 90 = 54
90 - 54 = 36
35% =
35100 =
720 The number of kiwis is 4 more than the number of passion fruits in the end. So, if another 4 passion fruits are added, the number of passion fruits and kiwis in the end will be the same.
8 u + 36 + 4 = 13 u
8 u + 40 = 13 u
13 u - 8 u = 40
5 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 5 = 8
Number of kiwis left
= 13 u
= 13 x 8
= 104
Total number of fruits left
= 8 u + 36 + 13 u
= 21 u + 36
= 21 x 8 + 36
= 168 + 36
= 204
