Question

divide 1500rupees in two parts such that 5% of the first part s equal to 10% of the second part

Answer 1

Let one part be x

The other part is 1500 - x

5% of one part is 10% of the other:

0.05x = 0.1(1500 - x)

0.05x = 150 - 0.1x

0.15x = 150

x = Rs 1000

Find the two parts:

one part = x = Rs 1000

The other part = 1500 - x = 1500 - 1000 = Rs 500

Answer: The two parts are Rs 1000 and Rs 500

Answer 2

$\huge {\bold {Solutions:-}}$


Let first part be x
= 5% of x



Second part = 1500 - x
= 10% of (1500 - x)



A/q

5/100 of x = 10/100 (1500 - x)

=> 0.05x = 0.10 ( 1500 - x)

=> 0.05x = 150 - 0.10x

=> 0.05x + 0.10x = 150

=> 15/100x = 150

=> x = 150×100/15 = 1000



Now,

First part = x = Rs 1000

Second part = 1500 - x = 1500 - 1000 = Rs 500
