Wendy bought 34 persimmons and 19 chikoos on Monday. Each day, she ate 4 persimmons and 1 chikoo. She started eating her fruits on Tuesday.

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

	Persimmons	Chikoos
Before	34	19
Change	- 4 u	- 1 u
After	34 - 4 u	19 - 1 u

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

The number of chikoos and persimmons in the end is equal.

34 - 4 u = 19 - 1 u
4 u - 1 u = 34 - 19
3 u = 15

1 u = 15 ÷ 3 = 5

Wendy ate for 5 days from Tuesday onwards.  At the end of Saturday, there would be an equal number of persimmons and chikoos left.

(b)
Number of days from Tuesday to Sunday = 6

Number of persimmons left on Sunday
= 34 - (4 x 6)
= 34 - 24
= 10

Number of chikoos left on Sunday
= 19 - (1 x 6)
= 19 - 6
= 13

Number of chikoos more than persimmons
= 13 - 10
= 3

Answer(s): (a) Saturday; (b) 3
