Question

22. Divide 4500 into two parts such that 5% of the first part is equal to 10% of the second part.
​

Answer 1

answer: X=3000

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose X and Y are two divided parts of 4500. then X+Y=4500-------(1)

given 5% of X = 10% of Y

5X/100 = 10Y/100

X=2Y

2Y+Y=4500

3Y=4500

Y=1500

X+1500=4500

X=4500 - 1500

X=3000

hence the 4500 is been divided into two parts of 1500 and 3000.
