At a fruit stall, there were 328 persimmons and chikoos at first.
35 of the persimmons and
38 of the chikoos were sold. In the end, there were same number of persimmons and chikoos. How many more persimmons than chikoos were sold?
| |
Persimmons |
Chikoos |
| Before |
5x5 =
25 u |
8x2 =
16 u |
| Change |
- 3x5 =
- 15 u
|
- 3x2 =
- 6 u
|
| After |
2x5 =
10 u |
5x2 =
10 u |
Comparing persimmons
and chikoos in the end |
1x10 =
10 u |
1x10 =
10 u |
The number of persimmons and chikoos in the end is the same. Make the number of persimmons and chikoos in the end the same. LCM of 2, 5 and 1 is 10.
Number of persimmons and chikoos in the end
= 25 u + 16 u
= 41 u
41 u = 328
1 u = 328 ÷ 41 = 8
Number of more persimmons than chikoos sold
= 15 u - 6 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 8
= 72
Answer(s): 72
