Question

Difference of two numbers is 20% of the larger number. If the smaller number is 12,find the larger number

Answer 1

Hey there!!!

The smaller number is given : 12
Let the larger number which we have to find be, 'x'

20% of the larger number = 20 x / 100 ⇒ x/5

Now it is given that the difference of the two numbers is 20%of the larger number.

So, according to question,

⇒x - 12 = x/5
⇒5(x - 12) = x
⇒5x - 60 = x
⇒5x - x = 60
⇒4x = 60
⇒x = 15

So, the larger number is 15.
