At a fruit stall, there were 259 chikoos and mangoes at first.
35 of the chikoos and
16 of the mangoes were sold. In the end, there were same number of chikoos and mangoes. How many less mangoes than chikoos were sold?
| |
Chikoos |
Mangoes |
| Before |
5x5 =
25 u |
6x2 =
12 u |
| Change |
- 3x5 =
- 15 u
|
- 1x2 =
- 2 u
|
| After |
2x5 =
10 u |
5x2 =
10 u |
Comparing chikoos
and mangoes in the end |
1x10 =
10 u |
1x10 =
10 u |
The number of chikoos and mangoes in the end is the same. Make the number of chikoos and mangoes in the end the same. LCM of 2, 5 and 1 is 10.
Number of chikoos and mangoes in the end
= 25 u + 12 u
= 37 u
37 u = 259
1 u = 259 ÷ 37 = 7
Number of less mangoes than chikoos were sold
= 15 u - 2 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 7
= 91
Answer(s): 91
