At a fruit stall, there were 510 lemons and passion fruits at first.
35 of the lemons and
18 of the passion fruits were sold. In the end, there were same number of lemons and passion fruits. How many less passion fruits than lemons were sold?

Lemons |
Passion Fruits |
| Before |
5x7 =
35 u |
8x2 =
16 u |
| Change |
- 3x7 =
- 21 u
|
- 1x2 =
- 2 u
|
| After |
2x7 =
14 u |
7x2 =
14 u |
Comparing lemons
and passion fruits in the end |
1x14 =
14 u |
1x14 =
14 u |
The number of lemons and passion fruits in the end is the same. Make the number of lemons and passion fruits in the end the same. LCM of 2, 7 and 1 is 14.
Number of lemons and passion fruits in the end
= 35 u + 16 u
= 51 u
51 u = 510
1 u = 510 ÷ 51 = 10
Number of less passion fruits than lemons were sold
= 21 u - 2 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 10
= 190
Answer(s): 190
