The ratio of passion fruits to persimmons is 3 : 7. If 12 persimmons are added, the ratio of passion fruits to persimmons will be 3 : 11. How many less passion fruits than persimmons are there in the end?
| |
Passion Fruits |
Persimmons |
| Before |
3 u |
7 u |
| Change |
|
+ 12 |
| After |
3 u |
11 u |
The number of passion fruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of persimmons added
= 11 u - 7 u
= 4 u
4 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Number of less passion fruits than persimmons in the end
= 11 u - 3 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 3
= 24
Answer(s): 24
