In a box, there are some apples and passion fruits. If 24 passion fruits are removed from the box, the percentage of passion fruits will increase from 30% to 75%. How many passion fruits are there in the box?

Apples |
Passion fruits |
| Before |
3x1 =
3 u |
7x1 =
7 u |
| Change |
No change |
- 24 |
| After |
3x1 =
3 u |
1x1 =
1 u |
30% =
30100 =
310 75% =
75100 =
34 The number of apples remains unchanged at first and in the end. Make the number of apples the same. LCM of 3 and 3 is 3.
Number of passion fruits removed
= 7 u - 1 u
= 6 u
6 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 6 = 4
Number of passion fruits
= 7 u
= 7 x 4
= 28
Answer(s): 28
