At a fruit stall, there were 440 passion fruits and pears at first.
35 of the passion fruits and
17 of the pears were sold. In the end, there were same number of passion fruits and pears. How many more passion fruits than pears were sold?
|
Passion Fruits |
Pears |
Before |
5x3 = 15 u |
7x1 = 7 u |
Change |
- 3x3 = - 9 u
|
- 1x1 = - 1 u
|
After |
2x3 = 6 u |
6x1 = 6 u |
Comparing passion fruits and pears in the end |
1x6 = 6 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
The number of passion fruits and pears in the end is the same. Make the number of passion fruits and pears in the end the same. LCM of 2, 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of passion fruits and pears in the end
= 15 u + 7 u
= 22 u
22 u = 440
1 u = 440 ÷ 22 = 20
Number of more passion fruits than pears sold
= 9 u - 1 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 20
= 160
Answer(s): 160
