Question

80% of a smaller number is 4 less than 40% of a larger number. The larger number is 85 greater than the smaller one. The sum of these two number is
A.325
B.425
C.235
D.500

Answer 1

Answer:

235

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be= x

Thearger number would be =(x+85)

Now ACQ.

80% of x = 40% of (x+85) - 5

80x/100 = (4x +300)/10

8x = 4x +300

4x = 300

X = 75

So, the Smaller number is 75

The larger number would be =75 +85 = 160

Now the sum of bkth the numbers = 160 +75 = 235

===========
SOLUTION :-
===========

Let the smaller number be x and larger number be y.
According to the question,
80% of x + 4 = 40% of y
4y - 8x = 40
y - 2x = 10 --------- (1)
y - x = 85 ----------- (2)
By using (1) and (2), we get
x = 75
y = 160
x + y = 235.

So , Option (C) is the right answer ✔️
