Mrs Gopal and Mrs Ari went to the supermarket. Both women decided to spend all their money on either apples or pears and they would not buy the same fruit.

If Mrs Gopal bought only pears, she would have 9 more fruit than Mrs Ari.
If she bought only apples, she would have 41 more fruit than Mrs Ari.
How much more money has Mrs Gopal than Mrs Ari? Each apple cost 40 cents and each pear cost 60 cents.

Anyone can better explain this question without using algebra? Thank you very much. :?:
