Rael had to collect some fruits from two markets and deliver some fruits to another market. He collected from Market N and the ratio of chikoos to kiwis was 1 : 2. When he reached Market P, he unloaded
78 of the kiwis and some chikoos from his van. The ratio of chikoos to kiwis became 1 : 2. At Market Q, 52 chikoos and 37 kiwis were collected and the number of chikoos to kiwis became the same.
- How many fruits were there on his van after visiting Market Q?
- How many chikoos were delivered to Market P?

Comparing chikoos and kiwis at first |
Market N |
1x8 = 8 u |
2x8 = 16 u |
Before 1 |
Market N |
8 u |
8x2 = 16 u |
Change 1 |
Market P |
- ? |
- 7x2 = - 14 u |
After 1 |
Market Q |
1 u |
1x2 = 2 u |
Before 2 |
Market Q |
1x1 = 1 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
Change 2 |
Market Q |
+ 52 |
+ 37 |
After 2 |
Market Q |
1 u + 52 |
2 u + 37 |
(a)
The number of kiwis after unloading at Market P is repeated. Make the number of kiwis left after unloading at Market P the same. LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.
The number of kiwis collected at Market N is repeated. Make the number of kiwis collected at Market N the same by multiplying 2 by 8.
The number of chikoos and kiwis in the end is the same.
2 u + 37 = 1 u + 52
2 u - 1 u = 52 - 37
1 u = 15
Number of chikoos on his van after collecting from Market Q
= 1 u + 52
= 1 x 15 + 52
= 15 + 52
= 67
Number of fruits on his van after collecting from Market Q
= 2 x 67
= 134
(b)
Number of chikoos delivered to Market P
= 8 u - 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 15
= 105
Answer(s): (a) 134; (b) 105
