There are initially 140 cakes in a bucket, and then 80 more cakes are added. If these cakes are distributed between males and females in the ratio of 7:4, what is the difference between the total number of cakes received by males and females?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Calculate the total number of cakes after adding 80 more:
   - Initial cakes = 140
   - Added cakes = 80
   - Total cakes = 140 + 80 = 220

2. The cakes are divided between males and females in the ratio 7:4.
   - Total parts = 7 + 4 = 11

3. Calculate the number of cakes received by males:
   $$\frac{7}{11} 	imes 220 = 140$$

4. Calculate the number of cakes received by females:
   $$\frac{4}{11} 	imes 220 = 80$$

5. Find the difference between the cakes received by males and females:
   $$140 - 80 = 60$$

**Answer:** 60
