The ratio of passion fruits to lemons is 3 : 7. If 12 lemons are added, the ratio of passion fruits to lemons will be 3 : 10. How many less passion fruits than lemons are there in the end?
| |
Passion Fruits |
Lemons |
| Before |
3 u |
7 u |
| Change |
|
+ 12 |
| After |
3 u |
10 u |
The number of passion fruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of lemons added
= 10 u - 7 u
= 3 u
3 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Number of less passion fruits than lemons in the end
= 10 u - 3 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 4
= 28
Answer(s): 28
