In a basket,
13 are persimmons and the rest are kiwis. If I give away 152 kiwis, there will be
25 as many kiwis as persimmons. How many persimmons and kiwis are there in the basket altogether?

Persimmons |
Kiwis |
Total |
Before |
1x5 = 5 u |
2x5 = 10 u |
3x5 = 15 u |
Change |
|
- 152 |
|
After |
5x1 = 5 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
|
The number of persimmons remains unchanged.
Change in the number of kiwis
= 10 u - 2 u
= 8 u
8 u = 152
1 u = 152 ÷ 8 = 19
Number of persimmons and kiwis
= 15 u
= 15 x 19
= 285
Answer(s): 285
