Question

divide 4000 into two parts such that 15 percent of the first part equal 25 percent of the second part​

Answer 1

Answer:

The first part is 2500 and the second part is 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=4000.............(I)

(15/100)×x=(25/100)×y

(15/25)x=y

(3/5)x=y..............(II)

put value of x from ii to I,

x+(3/5)x=4000

8x/5=4000

x=2500

Put value of x in I,

y=1500
