In a basket,
14 are passion fruits and the rest are apples. If I give away 18 apples, there will be
34 as many apples as passion fruits. How many passion fruits and apples are there in the basket altogether?
|
Passion Fruits |
Apples |
Total |
Before |
1x4 = 4 u |
3x4 = 12 u |
4x4 = 16 u |
Change |
|
- 18 |
|
After |
4x1 = 4 u |
3x1 = 3 u |
|
The number of passion fruits remains unchanged.
Change in the number of apples
= 12 u - 3 u
= 9 u
9 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 9 = 2
Number of passion fruits and apples
= 16 u
= 16 x 2
= 32
Answer(s): 32
