At a fruit stall, there were 222 chikoos and kiwis at first.
35 of the chikoos and
16 of the kiwis were sold. In the end, there were same number of chikoos and kiwis. How many less kiwis than chikoos were sold?
| |
Chikoos |
Kiwis |
| Before |
5x5 =
25 u |
6x2 =
12 u |
| Change |
- 3x5 =
- 15 u
|
- 1x2 =
- 2 u
|
| After |
2x5 =
10 u |
5x2 =
10 u |
Comparing chikoos
and kiwis in the end |
1x10 =
10 u |
1x10 =
10 u |
The number of chikoos and kiwis in the end is the same. Make the number of chikoos and kiwis in the end the same. LCM of 2, 5 and 1 is 10.
Number of chikoos and kiwis in the end
= 25 u + 12 u
= 37 u
37 u = 222
1 u = 222 ÷ 37 = 6
Number of less kiwis than chikoos were sold
= 15 u - 2 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 6
= 78
Answer(s): 78
