Question

Divide 3000 in two parts such that 5 % of first part is equal to 10% of the second.

Answer 1

let the first part be - x
then the second part - 3000 - x
Now, according to the question :-
105x/100 = (3000 - x) + 110x/100
105x = 100(3000 - x) +110x
105x = 300000 - 100x + 110x
105x = 300000 + 10x
105x - 10x = 300000
95x = 300000
