| Change |
- 3x5 =
- 15 u |
- 27 |
- 1x4 =
- 4 u |
| After |

34 75% x 36 =
34 x 36 = 27
36 - 27 = 9
20% =
20100 =
15 The number of mangoes is 123 less than the number of chikoos in the end. So, if another 123 mangoes are added, the number of mangoes and chikoos in the end will be the same.
5 u + 9 + 123 = 16 u
5 u + 132 = 16 u
16 u - 5 u = 132
11 u = 132
1 u = 132 ÷ 11 = 12
Number of chikoos left
= 16 u
= 16 x 12
= 192
Total number of fruits left
= 5 u + 9 + 16 u
= 21 u + 9
= 21 x 12 + 9
= 252 + 9
= 261
