Question

When Chinmay visted chowpati at Mumbai on a holiday, he observed that the ratio of North Indian food stalls to South Indian food stalls is 5 : 4. If the total number of food stalls is 117, find the number of each type of food stalls.

Answer 1

Given, ratio of North Indian food stalls to South Indian food stalls = 5 : 4

Total number of food stalls = 117

Total ratio = 5 + 4 = 9

North Indian food stalls = `(5/9) xx 117` = 65

South Indian food stalls = `(4/9) xx 117` = 52
