Tank G contained 3 times as many guppies as Tank H. When 10% of the guppies in Tank G and 30% of the guppies in Tank H were transferred to Tank J, Tank J had 90 guppies, which was 25% more guppies than before. How many less guppies were there in Tank H than Tank G in the end?

Tank G |
Tank H |
Tank J |
Before |
3 u |
1 u |
4x0.6 = 2.4 u |
Change |
- 0.3 u |
- 0.3 u |
+ 1x0.6 = + 0.6 u |
After |
2.7 u |
0.7 u |
5x0.6 = 3 u |
Number of guppies that were transferred from Tank G to Tank J
= 10% x 3 u
=
10100 x 3 u
= 0.3 u
Number of guppies that were transferred from Tank H to Tank J
= 30% x 1 u
=
30100 x 1 u
= 0.3 u
25% =
25100 =
14Some guppies from Tank G and Tank H were transferred to Tank J. The total number of guppies transferred from Tank G and Tank H into Tank J is the same.
Total number of guppies transferred from Tank G and Tank H into Tank J
= 0.3 u + 0.3 u
= 0.6 u
3 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 3 = 30
Number of less guppies in Tank H than Tank G
= 2.7 u - 0.7 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 30
= 60
Answer(s): 60
