Tommy had to collect some fruits from two markets and deliver some fruits to another market. He collected from Market U and the ratio of pomegranates to kiwis was 3 : 4. When he reached Market V, he unloaded ⁵₆ of the kiwis and some pomegranates from his lorry. The ratio of pomegranates to kiwis became 3 : 4. At Market W, 36 pomegranates and 19 kiwis were collected and the number of pomegranates to kiwis became the same.

1. How many fruits were there on his lorry after visiting Market W?
2. How many pomegranates were delivered to Market V?

	Location	Pomegranates	Kiwis
Comparing pomegranates and kiwis at first	Market U	3x6 = 18 u	4x6 = 24 u
Before 1	Market U	18 u	6x4 = 24 u
Change 1	Market V	- ?	- 5x4 = - 20 u
After 1	Market W	3 u	1x4 = 4 u
Before 2	Market W	3x1 = 3 u	4x1 = 4 u
Change 2	Market W	+ 36	+ 19
After 2	Market W	3 u + 36	4 u + 19

(a)
The number of kiwis after unloading at Market V is repeated.  Make the number of kiwis left after unloading at Market V the same.  LCM of 4 and 1 is 4.

The number of kiwis collected at Market U is repeated.  Make the number of kiwis collected at Market U the same by multiplying 4 by 6. 
 
The number of pomegranates and kiwis in the end is the same.

4 u + 19 = 3 u + 36
4 u - 3 u = 36 - 19

1 u = 17

Number of pomegranates on his lorry after collecting from Market W
= 3 u + 36
= 3 x 17 + 36
= 51 + 36
= 87

Number of fruits on his lorry after collecting from Market W
= 2 x 87 
= 174 

(b)
Number of pomegranates delivered to Market V
= 18 u - 3 u
= 15 u
= 15 x 17
= 255

Answer(s): (a) 174; (b) 255
