The number of students who chose floorball, canoeing and volleyball is repeated. Make the number of students who chose floorball, canoeing and volleyball the same. LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.
Number of students who chose canoeing = 7 u
7 u = 77
1 u = 77 ÷ 7 = 11
Number of more students who chose floorball than aerobic
= 21 u - 10 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 11
= 121
Answer(s): 121
