Question

Difference of two positive numbers is 1944. If 8.5 % of one number is 14.5% of the other number, find the sum of the two numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

7452

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 1944

8.5 / 100 × x = 14.5 / 100 × y

x = 14.5 / 8.5 × y => 145 / 85 × y

=> 29 / 17 × y

29y / 17 = 1944

29y - 17y = 1944 × 17

12y = 33048

y = 33048 ÷ 12

y = 2754

x - 2754 = 1944

x = 1944 + 2754

x = 4698

x + y = ?? =>>. 4698 + 2754 = 7452.
