Question

divide Rupees 1500 into two parts such that 5% of the first part is equal to 10% of the second part
please answer
​

Answer 1

5%of 1000 is equal to 10% of 500 so two parts are 1000 and 500

Answer 2

Let first part be x.

Second part = 1500-x

Now, As per the question,

5% of x =10% of (1500-x)

5x = 10(1500-x)

5x= 15000- 10x

15x = 15000

X = 1000.

So, First part = Rs 1000 and second part will be Rs 500.
