Jeremy had passion fruits and apples. The ratio of passion fruits to apples was 9 : 2. After
45 of the passion fruits and 90 apples were sold, there were 9 times as many passion fruits as apples left. How many passion fruits and apples were sold?

Passion Fruits |
Apples |
Comparing passion fruits
and apples at first |
9x5 =
45 u |
2x5 =
10 u |
| Before |
5x9 =
45 u |
|
| Change |
- 4x9 =
- 36 u |
- 90 |
| After |
1x9 =
9 u |
|
Comparing passion fruits
and apples in the end |
9 u |
1 u |
The number of passion fruits at first is repeated. Make the number of passion fruits at first the same. LCM of 9 and 5 is 45.
Number of apples sold
= 10 u - 1 u
= 9 u
9 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 9 = 10
Number of passion fruits and apples sold
= 36 u + 90
= 36 x 10 + 90
= 360 + 90
= 450
Answer(s): 450
