Question

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

Answer 1

let first part be x
second part = 4500-x
5% of x = first part
10% (4500 - x)
according to question
5/100 x =1/10(4500-x)
1/20 x = 450- 1/10x
1/20 x + 1/10 x = 450
3/20 x = 450
x = (450*20)/3
x = 1000
first part = 1000
second part= 4500-1000
= 3500
