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

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