100 less |
Before |
5x2 = 10 u |
+ 100 |
10x1 = 10 u |
Change |
- 4x2 = - 8 u |
- 80 |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
After |
1x2 = 2 u |
+ 20 |
9x1 = 9 u |
Comparing chikoos and passion fruits in the end |
36 less |

45 80% x 100 =
45 x 100 = 80
100 - 80 = 20
10% =
10100 =
110 The number of chikoos is 36 less than the number of passion fruits in the end. So, if another 36 chikoos are added, the number of chikoos and passion fruits in the end will be the same.
2 u + 20 + 36 = 9 u
2 u + 56 = 9 u
9 u - 2 u = 56
7 u = 56
1 u = 56 ÷ 7 = 8
Number of chikoos left
= 2 u + 20
= 2 x 8 + 20
= 16 + 20
= 36
Total number of fruits left
= 2 u + 20 + 9 u
= 11 u + 20
= 11 x 8 + 20
= 88 + 20
= 108
