Question

Divide 4500 in such that 5% of first part is equal to 10% of the 2nd part

Answer 1

let first part be x
then other parts is 4500-x
since 5% of x = 10% (4500-x)
5x/100= 10/100(4500-x)
5x = 10(4500-x)
5x =45000-10x
5x+10x=45000
15x=45000
x= 45000/15
=3000
so first part=3000
and second part= 4500-3000
=1500
