At a supermarket, there were
14 as many passion fruits as guavas. After 5 passion fruits and 23 guavas were sold, the number of passion fruits became the same as the number of guavas. How many fruits were at the supermarket in the end?

Passion Fruits |
Guavas |
| Before |
1 u |
4 u |
| Change |
- 5 |
- 23 |
| After |
1 u - 5 |
4 u - 23 |
Number of passion fruits and guavas in the end is the same.
4 u - 23 = 1 u - 5
4 u - 1 u = 23 - 5
3 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 3 = 6
Number of fruits in the end
= 1 u - 5 + 4 u - 23
= 5 u - 28
= 5 x 6 - 28
= 30 - 28
= 2
Answer(s): 2
