Question
A fruit seller has oranges and apples in the ratio of
17:22, and the total number of apples exceeds the number of oranges by 100. After selling 25 oranges and 20 apples, what is the new ratio of the number of apples to oranges remaining with him?Solution
Let the original number of oranges and apples with the seller be '17x' and '22x', respectively According to the question, 22x - 17x = 100 So, x = 100 ÷ 5 = 20 So, original number of oranges and apples with the seller is 340 and 440, respectively Required ratio = (440 - 20):(340 - 25) = 420:315 = 4:3
