- 3x5 =
- 15 u |
- 72 |
- 3x2 =
- 6 u |
| After |

34 75% x 96 =
34 x 96 = 72
96 - 72 = 24
30% =
30100 =
310 The number of starfruits is 3 more than the number of kiwis in the end. So, if another 3 kiwis are added, the number of kiwis and starfruits in the end will be the same.
5 u + 24 + 3 = 14 u
5 u + 27 = 14 u
14 u - 5 u = 27
9 u = 27
1 u = 27 ÷ 9 = 3
Number of starfruits left
= 14 u
= 14 x 3
= 42
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 24 + 14 u
= 19 u + 24
= 19 x 3 + 24
= 57 + 24
= 81
