Mr Tommy sold some starfruits, pomegranates and kiwis. The ratio of the number of starfruits sold to the total number of fruits sold was 3 : 10. The ratio of the number of pomegranates sold to the number of kiwis sold was 1 : 34. He sold 133 more kiwis than starfruits. Find the total number of fruits that he sold.

The total number of pomegranates and kiwis is repeated. Make the total number of pomegranates and kiwis the same. LCM of 7 and 35 is 35.
Number of more kiwis than starfruits
= 34 u - 15 u
= 19 u
19 u = 133
1 u = 133 ÷ 19 = 7
Total number of fruits that Mr Tommy sold
= 50 u
= 50 x 7
= 350
Answer(s): 350
