The number of pupils who chose jogging, rugby and fencing is repeated. Make the number of pupils who chose jogging, rugby and fencing the same. LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.
Number of pupils who chose rugby = 7 u
7 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 7 = 4
Number of more pupils who chose jogging than floorball
= 21 u - 10 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 4
= 44
Answer(s): 44
