The ratio of guavas to passion fruits is 2 : 5. If 16 passion fruits are added, the ratio of guavas to passion fruits will be 2 : 7. How many more passion fruits than guavas are there in the end?
|
Guavas |
Passion Fruits |
Before |
2 u |
5 u |
Change |
|
+ 16 |
After |
2 u |
7 u |
The number of guavas at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of passion fruits added
= 7 u - 5 u
= 2 u
2 u = 16
1 u = 16 ÷ 2 = 8
Number of more passion fruits than guavas in the end
= 7 u - 2 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 8
= 40
Answer(s): 40
