There were a total of 510 chocolates and sweets in a box. Gina sold 20% of the chocolates and bought another 40 sweets. After that the number of sweets in the box was 1/8 of the number of chocolates in the box.
a)How many chocolates were there at first?
b)How many more chocolates than sweets does he have now?
After
S : C
1u : 8u
Before
S : C
1u-40 : 10u
1u-40+10u-> 510
11u-> 550
u -> 50
(a)At first, number of chocolates = 10u = 10x50 =
500
8u-1u=7u
7u = 7x50=350
(b) Now, Gina has
350 more chocolates than sweets
