At a fruit stall, there were 408 mangosteens and passion fruits at first.
35 of the mangosteens and
18 of the passion fruits were sold. In the end, there were same number of mangosteens and passion fruits. How many more mangosteens than passion fruits were sold?
|
Mangosteens |
Passion Fruits |
Before |
5x7 = 35 u |
8x2 = 16 u |
Change |
- 3x7 = - 21 u
|
- 1x2 = - 2 u
|
After |
2x7 = 14 u |
7x2 = 14 u |
Comparing mangosteens and passion fruits in the end |
1x14 = 14 u |
1x14 = 14 u |
The number of mangosteens and passion fruits in the end is the same. Make the number of mangosteens and passion fruits in the end the same. LCM of 2, 7 and 1 is 14.
Number of mangosteens and passion fruits in the end
= 35 u + 16 u
= 51 u
51 u = 408
1 u = 408 ÷ 51 = 8
Number of more mangosteens than passion fruits sold
= 21 u - 2 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 8
= 152
Answer(s): 152
