The ratio of dragonfruits to mangoes is 2 : 7. If 28 mangoes are added, the ratio of dragonfruits to mangoes will be 2 : 11. How many more mangoes than dragonfruits are there in the end?
|
Dragonfruits |
Mangoes |
Before |
2 u |
7 u |
Change |
|
+ 28 |
After |
2 u |
11 u |
The number of dragonfruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of mangoes added
= 11 u - 7 u
= 4 u
4 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 4 = 7
Number of more mangoes than dragonfruits in the end
= 11 u - 2 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 7
= 63
Answer(s): 63
