Question

Divide 400 into 2 parts such that 1/3 of the first part is 40 less than the other part.Find the 2 parts

Answer 1

Answer:

first part 270,2nd part 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 400 into 2 parts

Let first part is x

second part is (400-x)

1/3 of the first part is 40 less than the other part.

(400-x)-(1/3)x=40

1200-3x-x=40*3

4x=1200-120

4x=1080

x=270

400-x=400-270

         =130
