+ 32 |
20x1 =

- 3x5 =
- 15 u |
- 24 |
- 7x1 =
- 7 u |
| After |
1x5 =

+ 8 |
13x1 =

75% =
75100 =
34 75% x 32 =
34 x 32 = 24
32 - 24 = 8
35% =
35100 =
720 The number of chikoos is 8 less than the number of persimmons in the end. So, if another 8 chikoos are added, the number of chikoos and persimmons in the end will be the same.
5 u + 8 + 8 = 13 u
5 u + 16 = 13 u
13 u - 5 u = 16
8 u = 16
1 u = 16 ÷ 8 = 2
Number of persimmons left
= 13 u
= 13 x 2
= 26
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 8 + 13 u
= 18 u + 8
= 18 x 2 + 8
= 36 + 8
= 44
Persimmons leftTotal fruits left =
