Kylie bought 22 starfruits and 12 pomegranates on Sunday. Each day, she ate 3 starfruits and 1 pomegranate. She started eating her fruits on Monday.

1. At the end of which day would there be an equal number of starfruits and pomegranates left? Give your answer in the following format. (Eg Monday)
2. How many more pomegranates than starfruits were there on Saturday?

	Starfruits	Pomegranates
Before	22	12
Change	- 3 u	- 1 u
After	22 - 3 u	12 - 1 u

(a)
Let the number of days be 1 u.

The number of pomegranates and starfruits in the end is equal.

22 - 3 u = 12 - 1 u
3 u - 1 u = 22 - 12
2 u = 10

1 u = 10 ÷ 2 = 5

Kylie ate for 5 days from Monday onwards.  At the end of Friday, there would be an equal number of starfruits and pomegranates left.

(b)
Number of days from Monday to Saturday = 6

Number of starfruits left on Saturday
= 22 - (3 x 6)
= 22 - 18
= 4

Number of pomegranates left on Saturday
= 12 - (1 x 6)
= 12 - 6
= 6

Number of pomegranates more than starfruits
= 6 - 4
= 2

Answer(s): (a) Friday; (b) 2
