Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  Numerator is increased by 30%

             Denominator is increased by 15%

To find : The original fraction

Solution :

Let the original fraction be $\frac{x}{y}$.

So, according to the question :

⇒ $\frac{x + \frac{30x}{100} }{y + \frac{15y}{100} } = \frac{5}{6}$

⇒ $\frac{130x}{115y} = \frac{5}{6}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5 * 115}{6 * 130}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{115}{156}$

∴ The original fraction = 115/156
