Question

divide 4500 into two parts such that 5% of first part is equal to 10% of the second part ​

Answer 1

Answer:

First part: 3000

Second part: 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to divide 4500 such that 5% of one part is equal to 10% of another part. Seeing that 5 is half of 10, it must be that one part is twice the size of the other part.

Thus, we divide 4500 by 3, yeilding 1500. Then one part is 1500 and the other part is 1500×2=3000.

Check:

1500+3000=4500.

1500 ×0.1=150 (5%= 5/100=0.05)

3000×0.05 = 150 (10%=0.1)
