Question

sum of two numbers is 97. If larger number is divided by smaller number the quotient is 7 and remainder is 1 find those numbers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bigger number be a and smaller number be b

So, a + b = 97

a = 97 - b [equation 1]

Again, a = 7b + 1

97 - b = 7b + 1 [From (1)]

7b + b = 97 - 1

8b = 96

b = 12.

Therefore, a = 97 - 12

= 85.
