Question

Fazal and wishal had some rare coins in the ratio 3:5. Wishal sold 25% of his coins and had 225 coins left. How many coins must Fazal buy to have the same number of coins as Wishal?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let Vishal had x coins before selling.

after 25% selling his coin he has 75% of it.

75% of x = 225

x = (225 * 100) / 75

x = 300

let fazal has y coins

according to question, y:x = 3:5

then y = (3 x) / 5

y = 900/5

y = 180

currently vishal has 225 coins and fazal has 180 coins.

fazal needs 45 more coins to have sam number of coins as vishal.

ans = 45
