On a farm the number of chickens to the number of cows was in the ratio 5:3. The ratio became 3:2 after 300 chickens were sold. How many more chickens than cows were there at first?

Answer 1

if there are 5x chickens and 3x cows, then
(5x-300)/3x = 3/2
10x-600 = 9x
x = 600
so there were 2x = 1200 more chickens than cows

Answer 2
