At a fruit stall, there were 516 mangoes and pomegranates at first.
25 of the mangoes and
16 of the pomegranates were sold. In the end, there were same number of mangoes and pomegranates. How many more mangoes than pomegranates were sold?
| |
Mangoes |
Pomegranates |
| Before |
5x5 =
25 u |
6x3 =
18 u |
| Change |
- 2x5 =
- 10 u
|
- 1x3 =
- 3 u
|
| After |
3x5 =
15 u |
5x3 =
15 u |
Comparing mangoes
and pomegranates in the end |
1x15 =
15 u |
1x15 =
15 u |
The number of mangoes and pomegranates in the end is the same. Make the number of mangoes and pomegranates in the end the same. LCM of 3, 5 and 1 is 15.
Number of mangoes and pomegranates in the end
= 25 u + 18 u
= 43 u
43 u = 516
1 u = 516 ÷ 43 = 12
Number of more mangoes than pomegranates sold
= 10 u - 3 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 12
= 84
Answer(s): 84
