Hi,

the following question is from CHIJ Prelim maths 2015.

Q16. A fruit stall owner had some pears, apples and oranges.
For every 2 pears, there were 3 apples.
For every 9 apples, there were 5 oranges.
36 pears were rotten and thrown away.
Then 1/5 of the remaining fruits were pears.
How many fruits did the fruit owner have at first?
Is the answer 240 or 288?
I used one quantity unchanged method which is the apples and oranges unchanged , the result is 240.
If I used all quantities changed method, the result is 280 which is same as the given answer.
Could anyone point out the error?

I've got 288...not 280

Saw my mistake. http://i63.tinypic.com/x5e1qt.jpg\">
Why is it we have to use all changes ? Can't we assume that oranges and apples are constant as they have no changes?

Need someone to help me check the following question if the answer is correct.

Henry had $5.
His sister had $16.
After their aunt gave each of them the same amount of money, Henry’s sister had twice as
much as him.
How much money did their aunt give to each of them?

He a
<—1u–>
sis a
<----2u------>
2u-1u=1u
1u= 16-5
=11
11-5 =6

is there an error?

Topic percentage
M original:
M (---------)(----------)(---------)
M <-----------3u----------------->

After giving 50% away:
M<3/2u-74><---><---3/2u----->

L after giving 50% away:
L (3/2u-74-)(--?/2--)

N -> 2u

After giving 50% away, total -> 326

3/2u+ 2u + 3/2u - 74 -> 326
5u ->400
u->80

Hence Larry has at first (3/2 x 80 -74) x 2 = 92 game cards

Check: 3u-> 240, 2u -> 160 and L->92.. total = 240+160+92=492 (original total game cards)

Thanks
