An Example Problem:
In a class, there are 2/3 as many boys as there are girls. After 15 boys left the class, the number of boys is only 1/9 that of the girls. What is the total number of students in the class at first
P5 Math Problem Sum: Ratio of Quantity of 2 Items that Changed (Before-After)
Learn the easy step-by-step algorithm to solve problem sums that involve a ratio that is changed with an action, a common question in the PSLE and school exams.
An Example Problem:
In a class, the ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys is 3 : 2. After 15 boys left the class, the ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys became 9 : 1. What is the total number of students in the class at first?

An Example Problem:
Jason has some coins worth a total of $37.20. Given that the ratio of the number of 50-cent coins to the number of 20-cent coins is 5 : 3, find the total value of his 50-cent coins.
