Question

a number is 5/8 times another if there sum is 104 find the numbers

Answer 1

Hey

Let the original number be x .

Second number =

5 / 8 times the first number

= 5x / 8 .

So,

Their sum is =

x + 5x /8 = 104

=> 8x + 5x / 8 = 104

=> 13x = 104 * 8

=> x = 104 * 8 / 13

=> x = 8 * 8

=> x = 64

So first number = 64

Second number = 5 / 8 * 64

= 5 * 8

= 40 .


thanks :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be x

= 5/8x = 104

8+5=104

13x=104

x= 104/13

x=8

x= 8×8

x=64

So, the first number is x=64 & the another number be 5/8×64 = 40
