Question
The total number of cars to the total number of bikes in Showrooms P and Q is in the ratio 60:17. Additionally, the number of bikes in Showroom P to those in Showroom Q is in the ratio 5:3. Given that the total number of cars across both showrooms is 600, determine the approximate difference in the number of bikes between Showroom P and Showroom Q.
Solution
ATQ;
Total cars : total bikes = 60 : 17
Total cars = 600
So total bikes = (17/60) × 600 = 170
Ratio of bikes in Showroom P : Q = 5 : 3
Difference = 170 × (5−3)/(5+3) = 42.5 (rounded to 43)
