At a fruit stall, there were 533 mangoes and lemons at first.
35 of the mangoes and
38 of the lemons were sold. In the end, there were same number of mangoes and lemons. How many more mangoes than lemons were sold?
|
Mangoes |
Lemons |
Before |
5x5 = 25 u |
8x2 = 16 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u
|
- 3x2 = - 6 u
|
After |
2x5 = 10 u |
5x2 = 10 u |
Comparing mangoes and lemons in the end |
1x10 = 10 u |
1x10 = 10 u |
The number of mangoes and lemons in the end is the same. Make the number of mangoes and lemons in the end the same. LCM of 2, 5 and 1 is 10.
Number of mangoes and lemons in the end
= 25 u + 16 u
= 41 u
41 u = 533
1 u = 533 ÷ 41 = 13
Number of more mangoes than lemons sold
= 15 u - 6 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 13
= 117
Answer(s): 117
