The ratio of pomegranates to passion fruits is 5 : 7. If 20 passion fruits are added, the ratio of pomegranates to passion fruits will be 5 : 12. How many more passion fruits than pomegranates are there in the end?
| |
Pomegranates |
Passion Fruits |
| Before |
5 u |
7 u |
| Change |
|
+ 20 |
| After |
5 u |
12 u |
The number of pomegranates at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of passion fruits added
= 12 u - 7 u
= 5 u
5 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Number of more passion fruits than pomegranates in the end
= 12 u - 5 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 4
= 28
Answer(s): 28
