Albert had passion fruits and chikoos. The ratio of passion fruits to chikoos was 8 : 3. After
14 of the passion fruits and 16 chikoos were sold, there were 6 times as many passion fruits as chikoos left. How many passion fruits and chikoos were sold?

Chikoos |
Comparing passion fruits
and chikoos at first |
8x1 =
8 u |
3x1 =
3 u |
| Before |
4x2 =
8 u |
|
| Change |
- 1x2 =
- 2 u |
- 16 |
| After |
3x2 =
6 u |
|
Comparing passion fruits
and chikoos in the end |
6 u |
1 u |
The number of passion fruits at first is repeated. Make the number of passion fruits at first the same. LCM of 8 and 4 is 8.
Number of chikoos sold
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
2 u = 16
1 u = 16 ÷ 2 = 8
Number of passion fruits and chikoos sold
= 2 u + 16
= 2 x 8 + 16
= 16 + 16
= 32
Answer(s): 32
