At a fruit stall, there were 468 persimmons and mangoes at first.
35 of the persimmons and
27 of the mangoes were sold. In the end, there were same number of persimmons and mangoes. How many more persimmons than mangoes were sold?
|
Persimmons |
Mangoes |
Before |
5x5 = 25 u |
7x2 = 14 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u
|
- 2x2 = - 4 u
|
After |
2x5 = 10 u |
5x2 = 10 u |
Comparing persimmons and mangoes in the end |
1x10 = 10 u |
1x10 = 10 u |
The number of persimmons and mangoes in the end is the same. Make the number of persimmons and mangoes in the end the same. LCM of 2, 5 and 1 is 10.
Number of persimmons and mangoes in the end
= 25 u + 14 u
= 39 u
39 u = 468
1 u = 468 ÷ 39 = 12
Number of more persimmons than mangoes sold
= 15 u - 4 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 12
= 132
Answer(s): 132
