A store owner has 90 more chikoos than pomegranates. After he sold 60% of the chikoos and 35% of the pomegranates, he is left with 4 less chikoos than pomegranates. What fraction of the fruits left were pomegranates?
|
Chikoos |
Pomegranates |
Comparing chikoos and pomegranates at first |
90 more |
|
Before |
5x4 = 20 u |
+ 90 |
20x1 = 20 u |
Change |
- 3x4 = - 12 u |
- 54 |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
After |
2x4 = 8 u |
+ 36 |
13x1 = 13 u |
Comparing chikoos and pomegranates in the end |
4 less |
|
60% =
60100 =
35 60% x 90 =
35 x 90 = 54
90 - 54 = 36
35% =
35100 =
720 The number of chikoos is 4 less than the number of pomegranates in the end. So, if another 4 chikoos are added, the number of chikoos and pomegranates in the end will be the same.
8 u + 36 + 4 = 13 u
8 u + 40 = 13 u
13 u - 8 u = 40
5 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 5 = 8
Number of pomegranates left
= 13 u
= 13 x 8
= 104
Total number of fruits left
= 8 u + 36 + 13 u
= 21 u + 36
= 21 x 8 + 36
= 168 + 36
= 204
