At a fruit stall, there were 380 lemons and kiwis at first.
14 of the lemons and
16 of the kiwis were sold. In the end, there were same number of lemons and kiwis. How many more lemons than kiwis were sold?
| |
Lemons |
Kiwis |
| Before |
4x5 =
20 u |
6x3 =
18 u |
| Change |
- 1x5 =
- 5 u
|
- 1x3 =
- 3 u
|
| After |
3x5 =
15 u |
5x3 =
15 u |
Comparing lemons
and kiwis in the end |
1x15 =
15 u |
1x15 =
15 u |
The number of lemons and kiwis in the end is the same. Make the number of lemons and kiwis in the end the same. LCM of 3, 5 and 1 is 15.
Number of lemons and kiwis in the end
= 20 u + 18 u
= 38 u
38 u = 380
1 u = 380 ÷ 38 = 10
Number of more lemons than kiwis sold
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= 20
Answer(s): 20
