The ratio of dragonfruits to chikoos is 3 : 8. If 6 chikoos are added, the ratio of dragonfruits to chikoos will be 3 : 10. How many less dragonfruits than chikoos are there in the end?
| |
Dragonfruits |
Chikoos |
| Before |
3 u |
8 u |
| Change |
|
+ 6 |
| After |
3 u |
10 u |
The number of dragonfruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of chikoos added
= 10 u - 8 u
= 2 u
2 u = 6
1 u = 6 ÷ 2 = 3
Number of less dragonfruits than chikoos in the end
= 10 u - 3 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 3
= 21
Answer(s): 21
