Question

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

Answer 1

2 parts are 300, 200

Step-by-step explanation:

let 2 parts be x,y

x+y=500 ---A

31

48% of y - 55% of x =34

48/100xy - 55/100xx =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
