At a fruit stall, there were 1180 persimmons and chikoos at first.
25 of the persimmons and
18 of the chikoos were sold. In the end, there were same number of persimmons and chikoos. How many less chikoos than persimmons were sold?
|
Persimmons |
Chikoos |
Before |
5x7 = 35 u |
8x3 = 24 u |
Change |
- 2x7 = - 14 u
|
- 1x3 = - 3 u
|
After |
3x7 = 21 u |
7x3 = 21 u |
Comparing persimmons and chikoos in the end |
1x21 = 21 u |
1x21 = 21 u |
The number of persimmons and chikoos in the end is the same. Make the number of persimmons and chikoos in the end the same. LCM of 3, 7 and 1 is 21.
Number of persimmons and chikoos in the end
= 35 u + 24 u
= 59 u
59 u = 1180
1 u = 1180 ÷ 59 = 20
Number of less chikoos than persimmons were sold
= 14 u - 3 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 20
= 220
Answer(s): 220
