At a fruit stall, there were 306 kiwis and chikoos at first.
35 of the kiwis and
18 of the chikoos were sold. In the end, there were same number of kiwis and chikoos. How many more kiwis than chikoos were sold?
| |
Kiwis |
Chikoos |
| Before |
5x7 =
35 u |
8x2 =
16 u |
| Change |
- 3x7 =
- 21 u
|
- 1x2 =
- 2 u
|
| After |
2x7 =
14 u |
7x2 =
14 u |
Comparing kiwis
and chikoos in the end |
1x14 =
14 u |
1x14 =
14 u |
The number of kiwis and chikoos in the end is the same. Make the number of kiwis and chikoos in the end the same. LCM of 2, 7 and 1 is 14.
Number of kiwis and chikoos in the end
= 35 u + 16 u
= 51 u
51 u = 306
1 u = 306 ÷ 51 = 6
Number of more kiwis than chikoos sold
= 21 u - 2 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 6
= 114
Answer(s): 114
