At a fruit stall, there were 272 passion fruits and chikoos at first.
35 of the passion fruits and
37 of the chikoos were sold. In the end, there were same number of passion fruits and chikoos. How many less chikoos than passion fruits were sold?
|
Passion Fruits |
Chikoos |
Before |
5x2 = 10 u |
7x1 = 7 u |
Change |
- 3x2 = - 6 u
|
- 3x1 = - 3 u
|
After |
2x2 = 4 u |
4x1 = 4 u |
Comparing passion fruits and chikoos in the end |
1x4 = 4 u |
1x4 = 4 u |
The number of passion fruits and chikoos in the end is the same. Make the number of passion fruits and chikoos in the end the same. LCM of 2, 4 and 1 is 4.
Number of passion fruits and chikoos in the end
= 10 u + 7 u
= 17 u
17 u = 272
1 u = 272 ÷ 17 = 16
Number of less chikoos than passion fruits were sold
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 16
= 48
Answer(s): 48
