Question

8. The sum of 5% of a number and 10% of the
other number is equal to sum of 6% of the first
number and 8% of the second number. The ratio of the first number to the second is​

Answer 1

$5 \div 100 \times x + 10 \div 100 \times y = 6 \div 100 \times x + 8 \div 100 \times y$

$5(x + 2y) = 2(3x+4y)$

$5x - 6x = 8y - 10y$

$- x = - 2y$

$y = x \div 2$

If x=1 then y=1/2
