A store owner has 64 more chikoos than pomegranates. After he sold 75% of the chikoos and 20% of the pomegranates, he is left with 28 more pomegranates than chikoos. What fraction of the fruits left were pomegranates?

Pomegranates |
Comparing chikoos and pomegranates at first |
64 more |
|
Before |
4x5 = 20 u |
+ 64 |
5x4 = 20 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
- 48 |
- 1x4 = - 4 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
+ 16 |
4x4 = 16 u |
Comparing chikoos and pomegranates in the end |

28 more |
75% =

34 75% x 64 =
34 x 64 = 48
64 - 48 = 16
20% =
20100 =
15 The number of pomegranates is 28 more than the number of chikoos in the end. So, if another 28 chikoos are added, the number of chikoos and pomegranates in the end will be the same.
5 u + 16 + 28 = 16 u
5 u + 44 = 16 u
16 u - 5 u = 44
11 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 11 = 4
Number of pomegranates left
= 16 u
= 16 x 4
= 64
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 16 + 16 u
= 21 u + 16
= 21 x 4 + 16
= 84 + 16
= 100
