Question

Divide Rs. 1500 into 2 parts so that 10% of the larger part exceeds 8% of the smaller part by Rs. 60. Find the larger and smaller parts

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let smaller part be x.

Let larger part be (1500-x)

According to your question

10% of (1500 -x) - 8% of x = 60

= 10/100 of(1500-x) - 8/100 of x = 60 

Or150 - x/10 - 2/25 x = 60 

Or -5x-4x/50 = 60 - 150 

Or -9x = -90 * 50 

Or -9x = -4500 

Or +9x = + 4500 

Or x = 4500/9 

Or x = 500 

Larger part = 1500-500 

= 1000 

Smaller part = 500 

Therefore, the larger part is Rs. 1000 and smaller part is Rs. 500.
