Daniel and Henry share a bunch of kiwis in the ratio 7 : 5. If Daniel gives Henry 22 kiwis from his share, they will have the same number of kiwis. How many kiwis does Daniel have at first?

Henry |
Before |
7 u |
5 u |
Change |
- 22 |
+ 22 |
After |
7 u - 22 |
5 u + 22 |
If Daniel gives Henry 22 kiwis from his share, they will have the same number of kiwis.
7 u - 22 = 5 u + 22
7 u - 5 u = 22 + 22
2 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 2 = 22
Number of kiwis that Daniel has
= 7 u
= 7 x 22
= 154
Answer(s): 154
