At a fruit stall, there were 170 kiwis and passion fruits at first.
35 of the kiwis and
37 of the passion fruits were sold. In the end, there were same number of kiwis and passion fruits. How many more kiwis than passion fruits were sold?
|
Kiwis |
Passion Fruits |
Before |
5x2 = 10 u |
7x1 = 7 u |
Change |
- 3x2 = - 6 u
|
- 3x1 = - 3 u
|
After |
2x2 = 4 u |
4x1 = 4 u |
Comparing kiwis and passion fruits in the end |
1x4 = 4 u |
1x4 = 4 u |
The number of kiwis and passion fruits in the end is the same. Make the number of kiwis and passion fruits in the end the same. LCM of 2, 4 and 1 is 4.
Number of kiwis and passion fruits in the end
= 10 u + 7 u
= 17 u
17 u = 170
1 u = 170 ÷ 17 = 10
Number of more kiwis than passion fruits sold
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30
Answer(s): 30
