number. If their dum is 62, then what are the
numbers?​

Answer 1

Given:-

• A number is 32 more than one-fifth of another number. Their sum is 62

To find:-

• The numbers.

Solution:-

Let,

• the first number be x.
• the second number be 32 + 1x/5.

According to the question,

→ x + 32 + 1x/5 = 62

→ x + x/5 = 62 - 32

→ 5x/5 + x/5 = 30

→ 6x/5 = 30

→ 6x = 30 × 5

→ x = 150/6

→ x = 25

Therefore,

• First number = x = 25
• Second number = 32 + 1x/5
• = 32 + 1/5 × 25
• = 32 + 5
• = 37

Hence,

• the numbers are 25 and 37.
