5x2 = 10 u |
+ 50 |
10x1 = 10 u |
Change |
- 3x2 = - 6 u |
- 30 |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
After |
2x2 = 4 u |
+ 20 |
9x1 = 9 u |

35 x 50 = 30
50 - 30 = 20
10% =
10100 =
110 The number of chikoos is 5 less than the number of passion fruits in the end. So, if another 5 chikoos are added, the number of chikoos and passion fruits in the end will be the same.
4 u + 20 + 5 = 9 u
4 u + 25 = 9 u
9 u - 4 u = 25
5 u = 25
1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Number of passion fruits left
= 9 u
= 9 x 5
= 45
Total number of fruits left
= 4 u + 20 + 9 u
= 13 u + 20
= 13 x 5 + 20
= 65 + 20
= 85
