Ratio of smaller number = 2
Ratio of larger number = 8
As stated in the question, the difference is 50 so now we need to find the difference between the ratios.
8 - 3 = 5
This means that the difference of 50 equals to 5 parts.
Next, find the value of one part.
50 ÷ 5 parts = 10
Lastly, multiply 10 with the ratio of the larger number which has 8 parts.
10 × 8 parts = 80
Therefore, the larger number is 80.
