At a fruit stall, there were 187 persimmons and passion fruits at first.
25 of the persimmons and
17 of the passion fruits were sold. In the end, there were same number of persimmons and passion fruits. How many more persimmons than passion fruits were sold?

Persimmons |
Passion Fruits |
| Before |
5x2 =
10 u |
7x1 =
7 u |
| Change |
- 2x2 =
- 4 u
|
- 1x1 =
- 1 u
|
| After |
3x2 =
6 u |
6x1 =
6 u |
Comparing persimmons
and passion fruits in the end |
1x6 =
6 u |
1x6 =
6 u |
The number of persimmons and passion fruits in the end is the same. Make the number of persimmons and passion fruits in the end the same. LCM of 3, 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of persimmons and passion fruits in the end
= 10 u + 7 u
= 17 u
17 u = 187
1 u = 187 ÷ 17 = 11
Number of more persimmons than passion fruits sold
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 11
= 33
Answer(s): 33
