Explanation: Total toffies B and C has = 60 – 25 = 35 Let total toffies B has = x So, total toffies C has = x – 5 ATQ, 2x – 5 = 35 2x = 40 x = 20 Let y toffies added with C to found resultant ratio So, 15+𝑦 20 = 6 4 15 + y = 30 y = 15

A, B and C has total 60 toffies, while A has 25 toffies and total number of toffies C has is 5 less than that of B. Find how many toffies should be added with C, so that the ratio of toffies A, B and C has becomes 5 : 4 : 6 respectively.
