The ratio of pomegranates to chikoos is 3 : 8. If 22 chikoos are added, the ratio of pomegranates to chikoos will be 3 : 10. How many more chikoos than pomegranates are there in the end?
| |
Pomegranates |
Chikoos |
| Before |
3 u |
8 u |
| Change |
|
+ 22 |
| After |
3 u |
10 u |
The number of pomegranates at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of chikoos added
= 10 u - 8 u
= 2 u
2 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 2 = 11
Number of more chikoos than pomegranates in the end
= 10 u - 3 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 11
= 77
Answer(s): 77
