At a fruit stall, there were 481 chikoos and persimmons at first.
35 of the chikoos and
16 of the persimmons were sold. In the end, there were same number of chikoos and persimmons. How many more chikoos than persimmons were sold?
| |
Chikoos |
Persimmons |
| Before |
5x5 =
25 u |
6x2 =
12 u |
| Change |
- 3x5 =
- 15 u
|
- 1x2 =
- 2 u
|
| After |
2x5 =
10 u |
5x2 =
10 u |
Comparing chikoos
and persimmons in the end |
1x10 =
10 u |
1x10 =
10 u |
The number of chikoos and persimmons in the end is the same. Make the number of chikoos and persimmons in the end the same. LCM of 2, 5 and 1 is 10.
Number of chikoos and persimmons in the end
= 25 u + 12 u
= 37 u
37 u = 481
1 u = 481 ÷ 37 = 13
Number of more chikoos than persimmons sold
= 15 u - 2 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 13
= 169
Answer(s): 169
