Question

6. A number is 5\8 times another number. If their sum is 104, find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Solution :

Let x and y be the required numbers.

From data first :

$x = \frac{5}{8} y \: \: \: \: \: \: \: ...(1)$

From data second :

x + y = 104 ...(2)

Substitute (1) in (2), we get,

$\frac{5}{8} y + y = 104$

$\frac{13}{8} y = 104$

$13y = 104 \times 8$

$13y = 832$

$y = 64$

Put y=64 in (1)

$x = \frac{5}{8} \times 64$

$x = 5 \times 8$

$x = 40$

Answer : x = 40

y = 64
