Question

Divide 2790 into two parts such that 8% of the first part is equal to 10% of the second part.

Answer 1

here is you answer check it... first part is 1550 and second is 1240...

Answer 2

Let the first part be x. Then the second part will be 2790 - x.

As per given condition,

8/100 * x = 10/100 * (2790 - x)

8x = 10(2790- x)

8x = 27900 - 10x

18x = 27900

x = 1550

1st part x = 1550

2nd part = (2790 - 1550)

               = 1240.
