Ryan and Aqil had 352 stickers altogether. After Ryan lost 25% of his stickers, the ratio of Ryan's stickers to Aqil's stickers was 9:4. How many stickers did Aqil have?​

Respuesta :

Aqil have 88 stickers.

Let Ryan have x stickers initially. Then Aqil will have (352-x) stickers. Ryan lost 25% of his stickers i.e., x-(25% of x)

= x- 25x/100

= x-x/4

= 3x/4

After Ryan lost 25% of his stickers, the ratio of Ryan's stickers to Aqil's stickers was 9:4 i.e.,

3x/4 : (352-x) = 9 : 4

⇒ 3x/4/(352-x) = 9/4

⇒3x/4 x 4 = 9 x (352-x)

⇒3x = 3168-9x

⇒3x+9x = 3168

⇒12x = 3168

⇒x = 3168/12

⇒x = 264

∴ Ryan have 264 stickers of the total 352 stickers and Aqil will have (352-x) i.e., 88 stickers.

Hence, Aqil have 88 stickers out of the 352 stickers.
