Question

the average between X and Y is 108.y is 300% the value of x find the difference between X and Y

Answer 1

Answer

The difference between X and y is 108

Explanation

It is given that

The average between X and Y is 108.

we can write,

(X +  y)/2 =108

X+ y = 108 x 2 = 216

X + y = 216 -----(1)

y is 300% the value of x

y = 300/100)x X= 3X

Substituting in equation (1)

X + 3X = 216

X=54

Therefore y = 3 x 54 = 162

The difference between X and y =162 - 54 =108

find the difference between X and Y
