Answer 2

The ratio between the numbers are 2 : 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sum of 5 percent of a number and 9 percent of other number is equal to sum of 8 percent of first number and 7 percent of the second number.

Let the first number be 'x'.

Let the second number be 'y'.

So, it becomes,

5% x+9% y = 8%x+7%y

9% y -7% y =8% x- 5%x

2% y = 3% x

$\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Hence, the ratio between the numbers are 2 :3.
