Proportion will look like, a/b = c/d,

let us assume the number which we have to add be x

According to the question,

(15+x)/(23+x) = (29+x)/(44+x),

cross multiply,

(15+x)*(44+x) = (29+x)*(23+x),

simplify them,

660 + 59x + x² = 667 + 52x + x²,

=> 7x = 7

=> x = 1

therefore the number that would be added = 1 !
