Let x and y be the 2 parts
X+y=4500
X/20=y/10
X/20-y/10=0
X-2y=0
X+y=4500
-x+2y=0
3y=4500
Y=1500. X=3000
Hope it helps you

Let one part be x and other part is y.
So, x + y = 4500 ------ (1)
Now,
Given that 5% of first part is equal to 10% of the another part.
= > 5% of x = 10% of y
= > 0.05x = 0.1y
= > y = 0.5x ----- (2)
Substitute (2) in (1), we get
= > x + 0.5x = 4500
= > 1.5x = 4500
= > x = 4500/1.5
= > x = 3000.
Substitute x = 3000 in (2), we get
= > y = 0.5(3000)
= > y = 1500.
Therefore, the two parts are 3000 and 1500.
Hope this helps!
