Question

One number is 25% of another number. the larger number is 12 more than the smaller. the larger number is

Answer 1

Let the smaller number be x

so other number = x + 25x/100

= x + x/4

= 5x /4

their difference is given as 12

5x/4 - x = 12

x /4 = 12

x = 12 × 4

x = 48

so other number = 5x/4

= 5 × 48/ 4

= 5 × 12

= 60

so the numbers are 48 & 60

Answer 2

Heya ☺

Let the another number be x. Then,

one of the number = x + 25 % of x

= x + 25/100 × x

= x + x/4

= 4x + x/4

= 5x/4

Given that

Larger number is 12 more than the smaller.

5x/4 - x = 12

=> 5x - 4x/4 = 12

=> x/4 = 12

=> x = 12 × 4

=> x = 48

Hence , the 1st number = 48

and the 2nd number = 48 + 25/100 × 48

= 48 + 12

= 60

So, the numbers are 48 and 60.
