Question

divide 4500 into two parts such that 55 of the one part is equal to the 10% of second part

Answer 1

Answer:

first part =55×8.1967213=450.81967

second part =4491.8033÷10=449.18033

Step-by-step explanation:

x+(4500-x) =4500

55th part of the first is equal to 10% of the second number

that means 55x =(4500-x)10%

55x =(4500-x)(10%100)

55x =(4500-x)÷10

550x =(4500-x)

x=4500÷549=8.1967213

first part =55×8.1967213=450.81967

second part =10%(4500-8.1967213)

=4491.8033÷10=449.18033
