Jade bought 30 pomegranates and 14 apples on Friday. Each day, she ate 5 pomegranates and 1 apple. She started eating her fruits on Saturday.

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

	Pomegranates	Apples
Before	30	14
Change	- 5 u	- 1 u
After	30 - 5 u	14 - 1 u

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

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

30 - 5 u = 14 - 1 u
5 u - 1 u = 30 - 14
4 u = 16

1 u = 16 ÷ 4 = 4

Jade ate for 4 days from Saturday onwards.  At the end of Tuesday, there would be an equal number of pomegranates and apples left.

(b)
Number of days from Saturday to Wednesday = 5

Number of pomegranates left on Wednesday
= 30 - (5 x 5)
= 30 - 25
= 5

Number of apples left on Wednesday
= 14 - (1 x 5)
= 14 - 5
= 9

Number of apples more than pomegranates
= 9 - 5
= 4

Answer(s): (a) Tuesday; (b) 4
