At a fruit stall, there were 110 lemons and chikoos at first.
35 of the lemons and
17 of the chikoos were sold. In the end, there were same number of lemons and chikoos. How many more lemons than chikoos were sold?
| |
Lemons |
Chikoos |
| Before |
5x3 =
15 u |
7x1 =
7 u |
| Change |
- 3x3 =
- 9 u
|
- 1x1 =
- 1 u
|
| After |
2x3 =
6 u |
6x1 =
6 u |
Comparing lemons
and chikoos in the end |
1x6 =
6 u |
1x6 =
6 u |
The number of lemons and chikoos in the end is the same. Make the number of lemons and chikoos in the end the same. LCM of 2, 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of lemons and chikoos in the end
= 15 u + 7 u
= 22 u
22 u = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 22 = 5
Number of more lemons than chikoos sold
= 9 u - 1 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 5
= 40
Answer(s): 40
