At a fruit stall, there were 308 persimmons and apples at first.
35 of the persimmons and
17 of the apples were sold. In the end, there were same number of persimmons and apples. How many more persimmons than apples were sold?
| |
Persimmons |
Apples |
| Before |
5x3 =
15 u |
7x1 =
7 u |
| Change |
- 3x3 =
- 9 u
|
- 1x1 =
- 1 u
|
| After |
2x3 =
6 u |
6x1 =
6 u |
Comparing persimmons
and apples in the end |
1x6 =
6 u |
1x6 =
6 u |
The number of persimmons and apples in the end is the same. Make the number of persimmons and apples in the end the same. LCM of 2, 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of persimmons and apples in the end
= 15 u + 7 u
= 22 u
22 u = 308
1 u = 308 ÷ 22 = 14
Number of more persimmons than apples sold
= 9 u - 1 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 14
= 112
Answer(s): 112
