The number of peaches Vaidev bought in May was 40% more than in April. In June, he bought 50% less peaches than in May. If there were 27 more peaches in April than June, how many peaches did Vaidev buy in April?
| April |
May |

| 5x2 |
7x2 |

2x7 |
1x7 |
| 10 u |
14 u |
7 u |
100% + 40 = 140%
140% =
140100 =
75May : April = 7 : 5
100% - 50% = 50%
50% =
50100 =
12 June : May = 1 : 2
The number of peaches in May is repeated. Make the number of peaches in May is the same. LCM of 7 and 2 is 14.
Number of more peaches in April than June
= 10 u - 7 u
= 3 u
3 u = 27
1 u = 27 ÷ 3 = 9
Number of peaches that Vaidev bought in April
= 10 u
= 10 x 9
= 90
Answer(s): 90
