A store owner has 80 less mangosteens than chikoos. After he sold 80% of the mangosteens and 35% of the chikoos, he is left with 38 less mangosteens than chikoos. What fraction of the fruits left were mangosteens?

Mangosteens |
Chikoos |
Comparing mangosteens and chikoos at first |
|
80 less |
Before |
5x4 = 20 u |
+ 80 |
20x1 = 20 u |
Change |
- 4x4 = - 16 u |
- 64 |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
After |
1x4 = 4 u |
+ 16 |
13x1 = 13 u |
Comparing mangosteens and chikoos in the end |
38 less |

80% =
80100 =
45 80% x 80 =
45 x 80 = 64
80 - 64 = 16
35% =
35100 =
720 The number of mangosteens is 38 less than the number of chikoos in the end. So, if another 38 mangosteens are added, the number of mangosteens and chikoos in the end will be the same.
4 u + 16 + 38 = 13 u
4 u + 54 = 13 u
13 u - 4 u = 54
9 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 9 = 6
Number of mangosteens left
= 4 u + 16
= 4 x 6 + 16
= 24 + 16
= 40
Total number of fruits left
= 4 u + 16 + 13 u
= 17 u + 16
= 17 x 6 + 16
= 102 + 16
= 118
