Before |
4x5 = 20 u |
+ 84 |
20x1 = 20 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
- 63 |
- 7x1 = - 7 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
+ 21 |
13x1 = 13 u |

720 The number of chikoos is 51 more than the number of passion fruits in the end. So, if another 51 passion fruits are added, the number of passion fruits and chikoos in the end will be the same.
5 u + 21 + 51 = 13 u
5 u + 72 = 13 u
13 u - 5 u = 72
8 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 8 = 9
Number of chikoos left
= 13 u
= 13 x 9
= 117
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 21 + 13 u
= 18 u + 21
= 18 x 9 + 21
= 162 + 21
= 183
