A fruit stall had 5 times as many lemons as kiwis. After 10 lemons were added, the number of lemons became 14 more than the number of kiwis. How many kiwis were there at the fruit stall at first?
|
Lemons |
Kiwis |
Before |
5 u |
1 u |
Change |
+ 10 |
|
After |
5 u + 10 |
1 u |
If another 10 kiwis are added, the number of lemons and kiwis will be the same.
5 u + 10 = 1 u + 14
5 u - 1 u = 14 - 10
4 u = 4
1 u = 4 ÷ 4 = 1
Number of kiwis at the fruit stall at first
= 1 u
= 1
