At a fruit stall, there were 330 lemons and passion fruits at first.
35 of the lemons and
17 of the passion fruits were sold. In the end, there were same number of lemons and passion fruits. How many more lemons than passion fruits were sold?
|
Lemons |
Passion Fruits |
Before |
5x3 = 15 u |
7x1 = 7 u |
Change |
- 3x3 = - 9 u
|
- 1x1 = - 1 u
|
After |
2x3 = 6 u |
6x1 = 6 u |
Comparing lemons and passion fruits in the end |
1x6 = 6 u |
1x6 = 6 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, 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of lemons and passion fruits in the end
= 15 u + 7 u
= 22 u
22 u = 330
1 u = 330 ÷ 22 = 15
Number of more lemons than passion fruits sold
= 9 u - 1 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 15
= 120
Answer(s): 120
