At a fruit stall, there were 570 chikoos and pomegranates at first.
14 of the chikoos and
16 of the pomegranates were sold. In the end, there were same number of chikoos and pomegranates. How many more chikoos than pomegranates were sold?
| |
Chikoos |
Pomegranates |
| Before |
4x5 =
20 u |
6x3 =
18 u |
| Change |
- 1x5 =
- 5 u
|
- 1x3 =
- 3 u
|
| After |
3x5 =
15 u |
5x3 =
15 u |
Comparing chikoos
and pomegranates in the end |
1x15 =
15 u |
1x15 =
15 u |
The number of chikoos and pomegranates in the end is the same. Make the number of chikoos and pomegranates in the end the same. LCM of 3, 5 and 1 is 15.
Number of chikoos and pomegranates in the end
= 20 u + 18 u
= 38 u
38 u = 570
1 u = 570 ÷ 38 = 15
Number of more chikoos than pomegranates sold
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 15
= 30
Answer(s): 30
