Question

If ratio of 2 quantities is 2:5 the antecedent is less by 9000 what is the consequent

Answer 1

x/(x-9000)=5/2

5x-2x=45000

x=15000

Answer 2

Answer:

15000

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of two quantities is 2:5

BTP,

        X-9000 / X = 2/5

   ⇒ 2X = 5X - 45000

   ⇒ 2X - 5X = - 45000

   ⇒ - 3X = - 45000

   ⇒ 3X = 45000

   ⇒ X= 15000
