Persimmons |
Comparing chikoos and persimmons at first |
32 more |
|
Before |
4x5 = 20 u |
+ 32 |
10x2 = 20 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
- 24 |
- 3x2 = - 6 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
+ 8 |
7x2 = 14 u |
Comparing chikoos and persimmons in the end |
82 less |

75% =
75100 =
34 75% x 32 =
34 x 32 = 24
32 - 24 = 8
30% =
30100 =
310 The number of chikoos is 82 less than the number of persimmons in the end. So, if another 82 chikoos are added, the number of chikoos and persimmons in the end will be the same.
5 u + 8 + 82 = 14 u
5 u + 90 = 14 u
14 u - 5 u = 90
9 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 9 = 10
Number of persimmons left
= 14 u
= 14 x 10
= 140
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 8 + 14 u
= 19 u + 8
= 19 x 10 + 8
= 190 + 8
= 198
Persimmons leftTotal fruits left =
