Question
The ratio of science books to literature books in a library
is 7:6. If the number of science books was 28 fewer and literature books 14 more, then the numbers would be equal. Find the original number of literatureSolution
ATQ,
Let the number of science and literature books be '7n' and '6n', respectively.
So, 7n - 28 = 6n + 14
Or, 'n' = 42
Therefore, number of literature books = 42 × 6 = 252
