Question

sum of two numbers is 2000 if the 25% of the smaller number is 16 of the larger number find the answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x the larger number be 2000 - x.

0.25x = 1/6(2000 - x)

25/100x = 2000/6 - x/6

1/4x = 2000/6 - 1/6x

1/4x + 1/6x = 2000/6

5/12x = 2000/6

30x = 2400

X = 800

Larger number = 2000 - 800 = 1200
