If 15% of \(m = 20%\) of \(n\) then \(m : n\) is

Question

There are 187 fruits in total. The ratio of apples to mangoes is \(2 : 3\), and the rest are oranges. After selling 67 apples, 26 mangoes, and half of the oranges, the ratio of the remaining apples to oranges becomes \(1 : 2\). Determine how many unsold fruits remain.

Answer 1

Given \(15\%\) of \(m = 20\%\) of \(n\): \[ 0.15 \cdot m = 0.20 \cdot n \] Dividing by 0.05: \[ 3 \cdot m = 4 \cdot n \] This implies: \[ m : n = 3 : 4 \] Therefore, the solution is \(m : n = 3 : 4\).

If 15% of \(m = 20%\) of \(n\) then \(m : n\) is
