Question

the quantities of wheat produced last year are in the ratio 7:10. If this year the production of the cop is 7290 tonnes more than that of the last year, what is the amount of wheat produced during this year,

Answer 1

ratio = 7:10
let last year production be
$x \: tones$
this year production =
$x +7290$
so,
$\frac{7}{10} = \frac{x}{x + 7290}$
$7x + 51030 = 10x \\ 3x = 51030 \\ x = 51030 \div 3 \\ x = 17010 \: tones$
production of this year= 17010+7290=24300
