The number of kiwis Ahmad bought in May was 30% more than in April. In June, he bought 70% less kiwis than in May. If there were 183 more kiwis in April than June, how many kiwis did Ahmad buy in April?

100% + 30 = 130%
130% =

1310May : April = 13 : 10
100% - 70% = 30%
30% =
30100 =
310 June : May = 3 : 10
The number of kiwis in May is repeated. Make the number of kiwis in May is the same. LCM of 13 and 10 is 130.
Number of more kiwis in April than June
= 100 u - 39 u
= 61 u
61 u = 183
1 u = 183 ÷ 61 = 3
Number of kiwis that Ahmad bought in April
= 100 u
= 100 x 3
= 300
Answer(s): 300
