At a fruit stall, there were 459 chikoos and apples at first.
35 of the chikoos and
18 of the apples were sold. In the end, there were same number of chikoos and apples. How many less apples than chikoos were sold?
| |
Chikoos |
Apples |
| Before |
5x7 =
35 u |
8x2 =
16 u |
| Change |
- 3x7 =
- 21 u
|
- 1x2 =
- 2 u
|
| After |
2x7 =
14 u |
7x2 =
14 u |
Comparing chikoos
and apples in the end |
1x14 =
14 u |
1x14 =
14 u |
The number of chikoos and apples in the end is the same. Make the number of chikoos and apples in the end the same. LCM of 2, 7 and 1 is 14.
Number of chikoos and apples in the end
= 35 u + 16 u
= 51 u
51 u = 459
1 u = 459 ÷ 51 = 9
Number of less apples than chikoos were sold
= 21 u - 2 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 9
= 171
Answer(s): 171
