Question

In a basket, the ratio between the number of oranges and the number of apples is 7 : 13. If 8 oranges and 11 apples are eaten, the ratio between the number of oranges and the number of apples becomes 1: 2. Find the original number of oranges and the original number of apples in the basket.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Original Number of apples = 13x

       "               "         "  oranges= 7x

After eating some:

(7x-8)/(13x-11)  = 1/2  

14x - 16 = 13x -11

Therefore x = 5

So number of apples= 13x = 65

No of oranges = 7x =35
