The ratio of dragonfruits to passion fruits is 3 : 8. If 55 passion fruits are added, the ratio of dragonfruits to passion fruits will be 3 : 13. How many more passion fruits than dragonfruits are there in the end?
| |
Dragonfruits |
Passion Fruits |
| Before |
3 u |
8 u |
| Change |
|
+ 55 |
| After |
3 u |
13 u |
The number of dragonfruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of passion fruits added
= 13 u - 8 u
= 5 u
5 u = 55
1 u = 55 ÷ 5 = 11
Number of more passion fruits than dragonfruits in the end
= 13 u - 3 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 11
= 110
Answer(s): 110
