At a fruit stall, there were 555 kiwis and oranges at first.
35 of the kiwis and
16 of the oranges were sold. In the end, there were same number of kiwis and oranges. How many less oranges than kiwis were sold?

Kiwis |
Oranges |
| Before |
5x5 =
25 u |
6x2 =
12 u |
| Change |
- 3x5 =
- 15 u
|
- 1x2 =
- 2 u
|
| After |
2x5 =
10 u |
5x2 =
10 u |
Comparing kiwis
and oranges in the end |
1x10 =
10 u |
1x10 =
10 u |
The number of kiwis and oranges in the end is the same. Make the number of kiwis and oranges in the end the same. LCM of 2, 5 and 1 is 10.
Number of kiwis and oranges in the end
= 25 u + 12 u
= 37 u
37 u = 555
1 u = 555 ÷ 37 = 15
Number of less oranges than kiwis were sold
= 15 u - 2 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 15
= 195
Answer(s): 195
