The ratio of passion fruits to mangosteens is 3 : 8. If 45 mangosteens are added, the ratio of passion fruits to mangosteens will be 3 : 13. How many less passion fruits than mangosteens are there in the end?
| |
Passion Fruits |
Mangosteens |
| Before |
3 u |
8 u |
| Change |
|
+ 45 |
| After |
3 u |
13 u |
The number of passion fruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of mangosteens added
= 13 u - 8 u
= 5 u
5 u = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 5 = 9
Number of less passion fruits than mangosteens in the end
= 13 u - 3 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 9
= 90
Answer(s): 90
