At a fruit stall, there were 205 lemons and mangoes at first.
35 of the lemons and
38 of the mangoes were sold. In the end, there were same number of lemons and mangoes. How many more lemons than mangoes were sold?
| |
Lemons |
Mangoes |
| Before |
5x5 =
25 u |
8x2 =
16 u |
| Change |
- 3x5 =
- 15 u
|
- 3x2 =
- 6 u
|
| After |
2x5 =
10 u |
5x2 =
10 u |
Comparing lemons
and mangoes in the end |
1x10 =
10 u |
1x10 =
10 u |
The number of lemons and mangoes in the end is the same. Make the number of lemons and mangoes in the end the same. LCM of 2, 5 and 1 is 10.
Number of lemons and mangoes in the end
= 25 u + 16 u
= 41 u
41 u = 205
1 u = 205 ÷ 41 = 5
Number of more lemons than mangoes sold
= 15 u - 6 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 5
= 45
Answer(s): 45
