Question

the difference between two numbers is 16 if the smaller number is 3/5 th of larger number then find the larger number

Answer 1

let the larger number be X
smaller no = 3/5 of x = 3x/5

so, X - 3x/5 = 16
5x - 3x/5 = 16
2x = 16×5
x = 16×5/2
x = 40
____________________
Larger no. = x = 40
Smaller no. = 3x/5 = 3×40/5 = 24
