At a fruit stall, there were 222 passion fruits and pomegranates at first.
35 of the passion fruits and
16 of the pomegranates were sold. In the end, there were same number of passion fruits and pomegranates. How many more passion fruits than pomegranates were sold?

Passion Fruits |
Pomegranates |
| Before |
5x5 =
25 u |
6x2 =
12 u |
| Change |
- 3x5 =
- 15 u
|
- 1x2 =
- 2 u
|
| After |
2x5 =
10 u |
5x2 =
10 u |
Comparing passion fruits
and pomegranates in the end |
1x10 =
10 u |
1x10 =
10 u |
The number of passion fruits and pomegranates in the end is the same. Make the number of passion fruits and pomegranates in the end the same. LCM of 2, 5 and 1 is 10.
Number of passion fruits and pomegranates in the end
= 25 u + 12 u
= 37 u
37 u = 222
1 u = 222 ÷ 37 = 6
Number of more passion fruits than pomegranates sold
= 15 u - 2 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 6
= 78
Answer(s): 78
