Question

a number is 68℅ of the other number .if the sum of these two numbers is 84%of500, what is the biggest number ?

Answer 1

Let 1st no be x
Then 2nd no be 68%of x
Aq
x+(68%of x)=84%of 500
x+(68/100*x)=84/100*500
Solve this you will get x=250 and 2nd no=170.so 250 is greater no.

Answer 2

Let the number be x
According to the question,
X + 68% of x = 84% of 500
X + 68/100x = 84/100 of 500
X + 17/25x = 320
(25x + 17x)/25 = 320
42x/25 = 320
X = 320 * 25/42
X = 190.47619
So, the first number is 190.47619
And other number = 68% of 190.47619
=68/100 of 190.47619
=129.523809
So, the biggest number is 190.47619.
Hope it helps...!,,
