A bag contains 10 white balls and 6 yellow balls. We need to add 112 balls to the bag and keep the ratio the same. How many of each do we need to add.

Question

- What's the correct formula to use?

Answer 1

Final total number of balls
=10+6+112=128
Half of them would be 64.
You will need 64 white and 64 yellow.
I'll leave you to figure out how many of each colour to add.

Answer 2

We need to keep the ratio 10:6
112 = 16*7, so we need to add

10*7 = 70 white balls
6*7 = 42 yellow balls
