The ratio of passion fruits to starfruits is 3 : 5. If 30 starfruits are added, the ratio of passion fruits to starfruits will be 3 : 8. How many more starfruits than passion fruits are there in the end?
| |
Passion Fruits |
Starfruits |
| Before |
3 u |
5 u |
| Change |
|
+ 30 |
| After |
3 u |
8 u |
The number of passion fruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of starfruits added
= 8 u - 5 u
= 3 u
3 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 3 = 10
Number of more starfruits than passion fruits in the end
= 8 u - 3 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= 50
Answer(s): 50
