Maths questions...on number of bikes and cars sold

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-10-02] [Hit: ]
.Ans 200 cars,......
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)
