The number of pupils who chose volleyball, gymnastics and golf is repeated. Make the number of pupils who chose volleyball, gymnastics and golf the same. LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.
Number of pupils who chose gymnastics = 7 u
7 u = 63
1 u = 63 ÷ 7 = 9
Number of more pupils who chose volleyball than floorball
= 21 u - 10 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 9
= 99
Answer(s): 99
