Comparing passion fruits and lemons at first |
|
85 less |
Before |
5x2 = 10 u |
+ 85 |
10x1 = 10 u |
Change |
- 3x2 = - 6 u |
- 51 |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
After |
2x2 = 4 u |
+ 34 |
9x1 = 9 u |
Comparing passion fruits and lemons in the end |
16 less |

60% =
60100 =
35 60% x 85 =
35 x 85 = 51
85 - 51 = 34
10% =
10100 =
110 The number of passion fruits is 16 less than the number of lemons in the end. So, if another 16 passion fruits are added, the number of passion fruits and lemons in the end will be the same.
4 u + 34 + 16 = 9 u
4 u + 50 = 9 u
9 u - 4 u = 50
5 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 5 = 10
Number of passion fruits left
= 4 u + 34
= 4 x 10 + 34
= 40 + 34
= 74
Total number of fruits left
= 4 u + 34 + 9 u
= 13 u + 34
= 13 x 10 + 34
= 130 + 34
= 164
