A fruit stall had 3 times as many mangoes as passion fruits. After 6 mangoes were added, the number of mangoes became 26 more than the number of passion fruits. How many passion fruits were there at the fruit stall at first?

Mangoes |
Passion Fruits |
| Before |
3 u |
1 u |
| Change |
+ 6 |
|
| After |
3 u + 6 |
1 u |
If another 6 passion fruits are added, the number of mangoes and passion fruits will be the same.
3 u + 6 = 1 u + 26
3 u - 1 u = 26 - 6
2 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 2 = 10
Number of passion fruits at the fruit stall at first
= 1 u
= 10
Answer(s): 10
