1.       Original ratio of the bike and scooter is equals to :
=> 3 : 4, where 3 is the bike and 4 is the scooter
=> 48 bikes
=> original order = 64 scooter
=> 64 / 4 = 16
however, bike is more popular than scooter, so they changed it into new ratio:
=> 5 : 2 , where 5 is equals to bikes and 2 is equals to scooter.
=> 5 x 16 = 80 bikes
=> 2 x 16 = 32 scooter.
