24 less |
| Before |
4x5 =
20 u |
+ 24 |
10x2 =
20 u |
| Change |
- 3x5 =
- 15 u |
- 18 |
- 1x2 =
- 2 u |
| After |
1x5 =
5 u |
+ 6 |
9x2 =
18 u |

75% =
75100 =
34 75% x 24 =
34 x 24 = 18
24 - 18 = 6
10% =
10100 =
110 The number of kiwis is 98 less than the number of lemons in the end. So, if another 98 kiwis are added, the number of kiwis and lemons in the end will be the same.
5 u + 6 + 98 = 18 u
5 u + 104 = 18 u
18 u - 5 u = 104
13 u = 104
1 u = 104 ÷ 13 = 8
Number of kiwis left
= 5 u + 6
= 5 x 8 + 6
= 40 + 6
= 46
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 6 + 18 u
= 23 u + 6
= 23 x 8 + 6
= 184 + 6
= 190
