Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let number of passion fruits=x
number of dragon fruits=x+10% of x
=x+0.1 x=(1+0.1)x=1.1 x
total number of fruits=x+1.1 x=(1+1.1)x=2.1 x
1.1x+60% of 1.1x+x+9% of x=2.1x+75
1.1 x+0.6 of 1.1 x+x+0.09 of x=2.1x+75
1.1x+0.66 x+x+0.09 of x =2.1x+75
2.1 x+0.75x-2.1 x=75
0.75 x=75
