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

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