The quantities of wheat produced last year and this year are in the ratio 7 : 10 . If this year the production of the crop is 7290 tonnes more than that of the last year , what is the amount of wheat produced during this year ?

Answer :

Given  : The quantities of wheat produced last year and this year are in the ratio 7 : 10
Let ratio coefficient  =  x 
So,
Total wheat produced last year  =  7x
And
Total wheat produced during this year  =  10x

And also given , this year the production of the crop is 7290 tonnes more than that of the last year .  So

7x  + 7290  = 10x   

3x = 7290

x  = 2430

Total wheat produced during this year  = 2430 ( 10 ) =  24300                                         ( Ans )
