Question: A ferry can carry 25 trucks or 40 motorcycles at a time. If there are 15 trucks on the ferry, how many motorcycles can be loaded onto it?

Solution:
Here,
25 trucks = 40 motorcycles
∴ 1 trucks = 40/25 = 8/5 motorcycles
∴ 15 trucks = = (8 × 15)/5 = 24 motorcycles

∴ Required number of motorcycles = 40 - 24 = 16

So the ferry can carry 16 more motorcycles along with the 15 trucks.
