Before |
4x5 = 20 u |
+ 52 |
5x4 = 20 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
- 39 |
- 2x4 = - 8 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
+ 13 |
3x4 = 12 u |

25 The number of passion fruits is 64 more than the number of mangosteens in the end. So, if another 64 mangosteens are added, the number of mangosteens and passion fruits in the end will be the same.
5 u + 13 + 64 = 12 u
5 u + 77 = 12 u
12 u - 5 u = 77
7 u = 77
1 u = 77 ÷ 7 = 11
Number of passion fruits left
= 12 u
= 12 x 11
= 132
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 13 + 12 u
= 17 u + 13
= 17 x 11 + 13
= 187 + 13
= 200
