Question

A number is 1/3 times another number, If their sum is 80. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the no. be x. Therefore, according to the question, the other no. will be 1/3 times x, which 1x/3.

According to the question:

x + ( 1x/3 ) = 80

( 3x + 1x )/3 = 80

3x + 1x = 80 × 3

4x = 240

x = 240/4

x = 60

Therefore 1x/3 = ( 1 × 50)/5 = 50/5 = 10

Therefore the numbers are 60 and 10.
