At a fruit stall, there were 354 passion fruits and mangosteens at first.
25 of the passion fruits and
18 of the mangosteens were sold. In the end, there were same number of passion fruits and mangosteens. How many less mangosteens than passion fruits were sold?
|
Passion Fruits |
Mangosteens |
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 mangosteens in the end |
1x21 = 21 u |
1x21 = 21 u |
The number of passion fruits and mangosteens in the end is the same. Make the number of passion fruits and mangosteens in the end the same. LCM of 3, 7 and 1 is 21.
Number of passion fruits and mangosteens in the end
= 35 u + 24 u
= 59 u
59 u = 354
1 u = 354 ÷ 59 = 6
Number of less mangosteens than passion fruits were sold
= 14 u - 3 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 6
= 66
Answer(s): 66
