At a fruit stall, there were 154 oranges and mangoes at first.
35 of the oranges and
17 of the mangoes were sold. In the end, there were same number of oranges and mangoes. How many less mangoes than oranges were sold?
| |
Oranges |
Mangoes |
| Before |
5x3 =
15 u |
7x1 =
7 u |
| Change |
- 3x3 =
- 9 u
|
- 1x1 =
- 1 u
|
| After |
2x3 =
6 u |
6x1 =
6 u |
Comparing oranges
and mangoes in the end |
1x6 =
6 u |
1x6 =
6 u |
The number of oranges and mangoes in the end is the same. Make the number of oranges and mangoes in the end the same. LCM of 2, 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of oranges and mangoes in the end
= 15 u + 7 u
= 22 u
22 u = 154
1 u = 154 ÷ 22 = 7
Number of less mangoes than oranges were sold
= 9 u - 1 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 7
= 56
Answer(s): 56
