There were 530 cars and bikes in a showroom. After some were sold - there were 290 vehicles left.
The ratio of cars sold to cars left is 4:3
The ratio of bikes sold to bikes left is 2:7
How many cars and bikes were sold?
How to do this??? if possible without the use of algebra...
Many thanks
Ans 200 cars, 40 bikes

LET THERE BE 7X CARS AND 9Y BIKES
CARS SOLD 4X
CARS LEFT = 3X
BIKES SOLD = 2Y
BIKES LEFT = 7Y
4X +2Y = 240
3X + 7Y = 290
12X +6Y = 720
12X + 28Y = 1160
SUBTRACT EQUATION 1 FROM 2
22Y = 440
Y = 20
X = 50
ANSWER = 200 CARS ( 4X) AND 40 BIKES (2Y)
