There were 130 passion fruits and chikoos in a stall at first. After
15 of the passion fruits and
12 of the chikoos were sold, there were a total of 92 passion fruits and chikoos now. How many passion fruits are there now?

Before |
5 u |
2 p |
130 |
Change |
- 1 u |
- 1 p |
- 38 |
After |
4 u |
1 p |
92 |
Total number of passion fruits and chikoos sold
= 130 - 92
= 38
4 u + 1 p = 92
1 p = 92 - 4 u --- (1)
1 u + 1 p = 38
1 p = 38 - 1 u --- (2)
(2) = (1)
38 - 1 u = 92 - 4 u
4 u - 1 u = 92 - 38
3 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 3 = 18
Number of passion fruits now
= 4 u
= 4 x 18
= 72
Answer(s): 72
