Initial ratio = 27 : 35
Changed ratio = 4 : 5
Find the number that was added:
let x be the number that was added to each term
(27 + x)/(35 + x) = 4/5
5(27 + x) = 4(35 + x)
135 + 5x = 140 + 4x
x = 5
Answer: The number that was added is 5.

Changed ratio = 4:5
Let the number be added to each of ratio be x
A/q
(27+x)/(35+x) = 4/5
=> 5(27+x) = 4(35+x)
=> 135 + 5x = 140 + 4x
=> 5x - 4x = 140 - 135
=> x = 5
