In a bag of oranges, the ratio of the good ones to the bad ones is 5:4. If the number of bad oranges in the bag is 36, how many oranges are there in the altogether?
81
72
54
45
Correct answer is A
Ratio of good ones to bad ones is 5:4; If 36 is bad;
∴ the good ones = \(\frac{5\times 36}{4}=45\) oranges.
The total number of oranges is 36 + 45 = 81.
