At a fruit stall, there were 190 apples and passion fruits at first.
14 of the apples and
16 of the passion fruits were sold. In the end, there were same number of apples and passion fruits. How many less passion fruits than apples were sold?
| |
Apples |
Passion Fruits |
| Before |
4x5 =
20 u |
6x3 =
18 u |
| Change |
- 1x5 =
- 5 u
|
- 1x3 =
- 3 u
|
| After |
3x5 =
15 u |
5x3 =
15 u |
Comparing apples
and passion fruits in the end |
1x15 =
15 u |
1x15 =
15 u |
The number of apples and passion fruits in the end is the same. Make the number of apples and passion fruits in the end the same. LCM of 3, 5 and 1 is 15.
Number of apples and passion fruits in the end
= 20 u + 18 u
= 38 u
38 u = 190
1 u = 190 ÷ 38 = 5
Number of less passion fruits than apples were sold
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 5
= 10
Answer(s): 10
