The ratio of pears to pomegranates is 3 : 8. If 30 pomegranates are added, the ratio of pears to pomegranates will be 3 : 13. How many more pomegranates than pears are there in the end?
| |
Pears |
Pomegranates |
| Before |
3 u |
8 u |
| Change |
|
+ 30 |
| After |
3 u |
13 u |
The number of pears at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of pomegranates added
= 13 u - 8 u
= 5 u
5 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 5 = 6
Number of more pomegranates than pears in the end
= 13 u - 3 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 6
= 60
Answer(s): 60
