Question

60%of the smaller number is 13 less then 40%of the larger number.if the sum of two numbers is 245 what is the difference between the large number and smaller number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now let's solve it,

X + (X + 9) = 43

Or, 2X + 9 = 43

Or, 2X = 43 -9

Or, 2X = 34

Or, X = 34÷2

Or, X = 17.

So smaller number is 17.

N greater number is ( X + 9 ) or 17 + 9 or 26.

So, the two numbers are 17 and 26.

Answer 2

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

x is bigger and y is smaller

x+y=245; y = 245-x

given:

60% of y = 40% of x - 13

i.e, 3y/5 = 2x/5 - 13

3(245-x) / 5 + 13 = 2x/5

147 - 3x/5 +13 = 2x/5

160 = (3x+2x) /5

x=160

y=85

x-y = 75
