Answer 2

ANSWER :

The first part is 25 and the second part is 6

EXPLANATION :

Let the first and second part be x and y

x + y = 31

x = 31 - y...............(1)

Now, one part is 24% of the other

24% of x = y

24x/100 = y

x = 100 y / 24

x = 25 y / 6..............(2)

Comparing (1) and (2)

31 - y = 25y /6

6(31 - y) = 25 y

186 - 6y = 25 y

31 y = 186

y = 6

x = 31 - 6 = 25

So the first part is 25 and the second part is 6

And 24% of 25 = 6
