In a basket,
15 are starfruits and the rest are passion fruits. If I give away 102 passion fruits, there will be
29 as many passion fruits as starfruits. How many starfruits and passion fruits are there in the basket altogether?
|
Starfruits |
Passion Fruits |
Total |
Before |
1x9 = 9 u |
4x9 = 36 u |
5x9 = 45 u |
Change |
|
- 102 |
|
After |
9x1 = 9 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
|
The number of starfruits remains unchanged.
Change in the number of passion fruits
= 36 u - 2 u
= 34 u
34 u = 102
1 u = 102 ÷ 34 = 3
Number of starfruits and passion fruits
= 45 u
= 45 x 3
= 135
Answer(s): 135
