The ratio of peaches to dragonfruits is 2 : 7. If 44 dragonfruits are added, the ratio of peaches to dragonfruits will be 2 : 11. How many less peaches than dragonfruits are there in the end?

Peaches |
Dragonfruits |
| Before |
2 u |
7 u |
| Change |
|
+ 44 |
| After |
2 u |
11 u |
The number of peaches at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of dragonfruits added
= 11 u - 7 u
= 4 u
4 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 4 = 11
Number of less peaches than dragonfruits in the end
= 11 u - 2 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 11
= 99
Answer(s): 99
