At a fruit stall, there were 354 passion fruits and starfruits at first.
25 of the passion fruits and
18 of the starfruits were sold. In the end, there were same number of passion fruits and starfruits. How many more passion fruits than starfruits were sold?
|
Passion Fruits |
Starfruits |
Before |
5x7 = 35 u |
8x3 = 24 u |
Change |
- 2x7 = - 14 u
|
- 1x3 = - 3 u
|
After |
3x7 = 21 u |
7x3 = 21 u |
Comparing passion fruits and starfruits in the end |
1x21 = 21 u |
1x21 = 21 u |
The number of passion fruits and starfruits in the end is the same. Make the number of passion fruits and starfruits in the end the same. LCM of 3, 7 and 1 is 21.
Number of passion fruits and starfruits in the end
= 35 u + 24 u
= 59 u
59 u = 354
1 u = 354 ÷ 59 = 6
Number of more passion fruits than starfruits sold
= 14 u - 3 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 6
= 66
Answer(s): 66
