At a fruit stall, there were 322 passion fruits and kiwis at first.
25 of the passion fruits and
27 of the kiwis were sold. In the end, there were same number of passion fruits and kiwis. How many more passion fruits than kiwis were sold?
|
Passion Fruits |
Kiwis |
Before |
5x5 = 25 u |
7x3 = 21 u |
Change |
- 2x5 = - 10 u
|
- 2x3 = - 6 u
|
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
5x3 = 15 u |
Comparing passion fruits and kiwis in the end |
1x15 = 15 u |
1x15 = 15 u |
The number of passion fruits and kiwis in the end is the same. Make the number of passion fruits and kiwis in the end the same. LCM of 3, 5 and 1 is 15.
Number of passion fruits and kiwis in the end
= 25 u + 21 u
= 46 u
46 u = 322
1 u = 322 ÷ 46 = 7
Number of more passion fruits than kiwis sold
= 10 u - 6 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 7
= 28
Answer(s): 28
