Since,
The two parts are in the ratio 5:3,
Then,
Let the first number be 5x and second number be 3x.
As,
Second number is 10 more than the other, so it will be 3x+10.
→ 5x = 3x + 10
→ 5x - 3x = 10
→ 2x=10
→ x=5
The first number becomes 5 × (5)=25 and second number becomes 3 × (5) = 15.
The new number will be 25 + 15 = 40.
Hence our answer is 40.
