At a fruit stall, there were 264 starfruits and passion fruits at first.
35 of the starfruits and
17 of the passion fruits were sold. In the end, there were same number of starfruits and passion fruits. How many more starfruits than passion fruits were sold?
|
Starfruits |
Passion Fruits |
Before |
5x3 = 15 u |
7x1 = 7 u |
Change |
- 3x3 = - 9 u
|
- 1x1 = - 1 u
|
After |
2x3 = 6 u |
6x1 = 6 u |
Comparing starfruits and passion fruits in the end |
1x6 = 6 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
The number of starfruits and passion fruits in the end is the same. Make the number of starfruits and passion fruits in the end the same. LCM of 2, 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of starfruits and passion fruits in the end
= 15 u + 7 u
= 22 u
22 u = 264
1 u = 264 ÷ 22 = 12
Number of more starfruits than passion fruits sold
= 9 u - 1 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 12
= 96
Answer(s): 96
