Question

the difference between two whole number is 66 the ratio of two number is 25 what are the two number​

Answer 1

Answer:

take x and y as the two numbers

x-y = 66........ (1)

x/y = 25.........(2)

x=25y

apply x value in eq 1.

25y - y = 66

24y = 66

y = 66/24

y = 11 /4 .

apply y value in eq 1.

x=66 + y

x=66+ (11/4)

x=363/2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step- by - Step-Explanation

Since the ratio of two numbers is 2:5 , we may take one number to be 2x and the other be 5x.

(Note that 2x:5x is same as 2:5).

The difference between the two numbers is (5x-2x). It's given that the difference is 66.

As per the Question,

5x - 3x = 66

=> 3x = 66

=> x = 22

Since the numbers are 2x and 5x ,they are :

• 2 × 22 = 44
• 5 × 22 = 110

The difference between the two numbers = 110-44 = 66 as desired.
