Jane bought 34 chikoos and 19 passion fruits on Tuesday. Each day, she ate 4 chikoos and 1 passion fruit. She started eating her fruits on Wednesday.

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

	Chikoos	Passion Fruits
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 passion fruits and chikoos 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

Jane ate for 5 days from Wednesday onwards.  At the end of Sunday, there would be an equal number of chikoos and passion fruits left.

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

Number of chikoos left on Monday
= 34 - (4 x 6)
= 34 - 24
= 10

Number of passion fruits left on Monday
= 19 - (1 x 6)
= 19 - 6
= 13

Number of passion fruits more than chikoos
= 13 - 10
= 3

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