At a fruit stall, there were 387 passion fruits and persimmons at first.
25 of the passion fruits and
16 of the persimmons were sold. In the end, there were same number of passion fruits and persimmons. How many more passion fruits than persimmons were sold?
|
Passion Fruits |
Persimmons |
Before |
5x5 = 25 u |
6x3 = 18 u |
Change |
- 2x5 = - 10 u
|
- 1x3 = - 3 u
|
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
5x3 = 15 u |
Comparing passion fruits and persimmons in the end |
1x15 = 15 u |
1x15 = 15 u |
The number of passion fruits and persimmons in the end is the same. Make the number of passion fruits and persimmons in the end the same. LCM of 3, 5 and 1 is 15.
Number of passion fruits and persimmons in the end
= 25 u + 18 u
= 43 u
43 u = 387
1 u = 387 ÷ 43 = 9
Number of more passion fruits than persimmons sold
= 10 u - 3 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 9
= 63
Answer(s): 63
