At a fruit stall, there were 816 passion fruits and kiwis at first.
35 of the passion fruits and
18 of the kiwis were sold. In the end, there were same number of passion fruits and kiwis. How many less kiwis than passion fruits were sold?

Passion Fruits |
Kiwis |
| Before |
5x7 =
35 u |
8x2 =
16 u |
| Change |
- 3x7 =
- 21 u
|
- 1x2 =
- 2 u
|
| After |
2x7 =
14 u |
7x2 =
14 u |
Comparing passion fruits
and kiwis in the end |
1x14 =
14 u |
1x14 =
14 u |
The number of passion fruits and kiwis in the end is the same. Make the number of passion fruits and kiwis in the end the same. LCM of 2, 7 and 1 is 14.
Number of passion fruits and kiwis in the end
= 35 u + 16 u
= 51 u
51 u = 816
1 u = 816 ÷ 51 = 16
Number of less kiwis than passion fruits were sold
= 21 u - 2 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 16
= 304
Answer(s): 304
