The ratio of passion fruits to peaches is 3 : 7. If 6 peaches are added, the ratio of passion fruits to peaches will be 3 : 10. How many less passion fruits than peaches are there in the end?
| |
Passion Fruits |
Peaches |
| Before |
3 u |
7 u |
| Change |
|
+ 6 |
| After |
3 u |
10 u |
The number of passion fruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of peaches added
= 10 u - 7 u
= 3 u
3 u = 6
1 u = 6 ÷ 3 = 2
Number of less passion fruits than peaches in the end
= 10 u - 3 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 2
= 14
Answer(s): 14
