Question

Divide 500 into two parts such that 55% of one
part is less than 48% of the other part by 34.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let 2 parts be x,y

x+y =500 ---A

48% of y - 55% of x =34

48/100×y - 55/100×x =34

0.48y- 0.55x =34 --B

0.55A+B

= y(0.55+0.48) = 275+34

=y = 309/1.03 = 300

x =200

so 2 parts are 300, 200
