- 18 |
- 1x1 =
- 1 u |
| After |

35 60% x 30 =
35 x 30 = 18
30 - 18 = 12
10% =
10100 =
110 The number of pomegranates is 8 more than the number of kiwis in the end. So, if another 8 kiwis are added, the number of kiwis and pomegranates in the end will be the same.
4 u + 12 + 8 = 9 u
4 u + 20 = 9 u
9 u - 4 u = 20
5 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Number of pomegranates left
= 9 u
= 9 x 4
= 36
Total number of fruits left
= 4 u + 12 + 9 u
= 13 u + 12
= 13 x 4 + 12
= 52 + 12
= 64
