The ratio of passion fruits to grapefruits is 3 : 7. If 44 grapefruits are added, the ratio of passion fruits to grapefruits will be 3 : 11. How many more grapefruits than passion fruits are there in the end?
| |
Passion Fruits |
Grapefruits |
| Before |
3 u |
7 u |
| Change |
|
+ 44 |
| After |
3 u |
11 u |
The number of passion fruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of grapefruits added
= 11 u - 7 u
= 4 u
4 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 4 = 11
Number of more grapefruits than passion fruits in the end
= 11 u - 3 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 11
= 88
Answer(s): 88
