A fruit stall had 3 times as many pomegranates as passion fruits. After 11 pomegranates were added, the number of pomegranates became 15 more than the number of passion fruits. How many passion fruits were there at the fruit stall at first?

Pomegranates |
Passion Fruits |
| Before |
3 u |
1 u |
| Change |
+ 11 |
|
| After |
3 u + 11 |
1 u |
If another 11 passion fruits are added, the number of pomegranates and passion fruits will be the same.
3 u + 11 = 1 u + 15
3 u - 1 u = 15 - 11
2 u = 4
1 u = 4 ÷ 2 = 2
Number of passion fruits at the fruit stall at first
= 1 u
= 2
Answer(s): 2
