Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

suppose x and y are two divided

parts of 4500. then

x+y=4500 __ (1)

given

5% of x = 10% of y

100

5x

=

100

10y

x=2y

2y+y=4500

3y=4500

y=1500

x+1500=4500

x=4500−1500

x=3000

hence the 4500 is been divided into

two parts of 1500 and 3000.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose X and y are two divided parts of 4500.

Then,

x+y=4500 (1)

given

5% of X= 10% of y

5x/100=10y/100

×=2y

2y+y=4500

3y= 4500

y= 1500

x+1500=4500

x=4500-1500

x=3000

hence the 4500 is been divided into two parts of 1500 and 3000
