Cody and Vaidev share a bunch of kiwis in the ratio 5 : 3. If Cody gives Vaidev 15 kiwis from his share, they will have the same number of kiwis. How many kiwis does Cody have at first?

Cody |
Vaidev |
| Before |
5 u |
3 u |
| Change |
- 15 |
+ 15 |
| After |
5 u - 15 |
3 u + 15 |
If Cody gives Vaidev 15 kiwis from his share, they will have the same number of kiwis.
5 u - 15 = 3 u + 15
5 u - 3 u = 15 + 15
2 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 2 = 15
Number of kiwis that Cody has
= 5 u
= 5 x 15
= 75
Answer(s): 75
