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.
