The ratio of mangoes to passion fruits is 3 : 4. If 40 passion fruits are added, the ratio of mangoes to passion fruits will be 3 : 8. How many more passion fruits than mangoes are there in the end?
| |
Mangoes |
Passion Fruits |
| Before |
3 u |
4 u |
| Change |
|
+ 40 |
| After |
3 u |
8 u |
The number of mangoes at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of passion fruits added
= 8 u - 4 u
= 4 u
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Number of more passion fruits than mangoes in the end
= 8 u - 3 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= 50
Answer(s): 50
