At a fruit stall, there were 272 kiwis and apples at first.
25 of the kiwis and
17 of the apples were sold. In the end, there were same number of kiwis and apples. How many more kiwis than apples were sold?
| |
Kiwis |
Apples |
| Before |
5x2 =
10 u |
7x1 =
7 u |
| Change |
- 2x2 =
- 4 u
|
- 1x1 =
- 1 u
|
| After |
3x2 =
6 u |
6x1 =
6 u |
Comparing kiwis
and apples in the end |
1x6 =
6 u |
1x6 =
6 u |
The number of kiwis and apples in the end is the same. Make the number of kiwis and apples in the end the same. LCM of 3, 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of kiwis and apples in the end
= 10 u + 7 u
= 17 u
17 u = 272
1 u = 272 ÷ 17 = 16
Number of more kiwis than apples sold
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 16
= 48
Answer(s): 48
