At a fruit stall, there were 374 starfruits and kiwis at first.
35 of the starfruits and
17 of the kiwis were sold. In the end, there were same number of starfruits and kiwis. How many more starfruits than kiwis were sold?
| |
Starfruits |
Kiwis |
| Before |
5x3 =
15 u |
7x1 =
7 u |
| Change |
- 3x3 =
- 9 u
|
- 1x1 =
- 1 u
|
| After |
2x3 =
6 u |
6x1 =
6 u |
Comparing starfruits
and kiwis in the end |
1x6 =
6 u |
1x6 =
6 u |
The number of starfruits and kiwis in the end is the same. Make the number of starfruits and kiwis in the end the same. LCM of 2, 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of starfruits and kiwis in the end
= 15 u + 7 u
= 22 u
22 u = 374
1 u = 374 ÷ 22 = 17
Number of more starfruits than kiwis sold
= 9 u - 1 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 17
= 136
Answer(s): 136
