The ratio of dragonfruits to chikoos is 5 : 7. If 6 chikoos are added, the ratio of dragonfruits to chikoos will be 5 : 9. How many more chikoos than dragonfruits are there in the end?
|
Dragonfruits |
Chikoos |
Before |
5 u |
7 u |
Change |
|
+ 6 |
After |
5 u |
9 u |
The number of dragonfruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of chikoos added
= 9 u - 7 u
= 2 u
2 u = 6
1 u = 6 ÷ 2 = 3
Number of more chikoos than dragonfruits in the end
= 9 u - 5 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 3
= 12
Answer(s): 12
