At a fruit stall, there were 561 passion fruits and oranges at first.
35 of the passion fruits and
18 of the oranges were sold. In the end, there were same number of passion fruits and oranges. How many more passion fruits than oranges were sold?
|
Passion Fruits |
Oranges |
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 oranges in the end |
1x14 = 14 u |
1x14 = 14 u |
The number of passion fruits and oranges in the end is the same. Make the number of passion fruits and oranges in the end the same. LCM of 2, 7 and 1 is 14.
Number of passion fruits and oranges in the end
= 35 u + 16 u
= 51 u
51 u = 561
1 u = 561 ÷ 51 = 11
Number of more passion fruits than oranges sold
= 21 u - 2 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 11
= 209
Answer(s): 209
