The ratio of chikoos to persimmons is 3 : 8. If 24 persimmons are added, the ratio of chikoos to persimmons will be 3 : 11. How many less chikoos than persimmons are there in the end?
|
Chikoos |
Persimmons |
Before |
3 u |
8 u |
Change |
|
+ 24 |
After |
3 u |
11 u |
The number of chikoos at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of persimmons added
= 11 u - 8 u
= 3 u
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Number of less chikoos than persimmons in the end
= 11 u - 3 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 8
= 64
Answer(s): 64
