Diana bought 17 chikoos and 11 passion fruits on Thursday. Each day, she ate 3 chikoos and 1 passion fruit. She started eating her fruits on Friday.

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	17	11
Change	- 3 u	- 1 u
After	17 - 3 u	11 - 1 u

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

The number of passion fruits and chikoos in the end is equal.

17 - 3 u = 11 - 1 u
3 u - 1 u = 17 - 11
2 u = 6

1 u = 6 ÷ 2 = 3

Diana ate for 3 days from Friday onwards.  At the end of Sunday, there would be an equal number of chikoos and passion fruits left.

(b)
Number of days from Friday to Monday = 4

Number of chikoos left on Monday
= 17 - (3 x 4)
= 17 - 12
= 5

Number of passion fruits left on Monday
= 11 - (1 x 4)
= 11 - 4
= 7

Number of passion fruits more than chikoos
= 7 - 5
= 2

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