Question

The difference between two whole numbers is 66. If one number is three times the other. What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

16.5 and 49.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be x.

The other number = 3x             (ATQ)

Now,

x + 3x = 66

4x = 66

x = 16.5

The other number = 49.5

Hence, the numbers are 16.5 and 49.5 respectively.

Answer 2

ATQ,

let the one no. be 3x and the second no. be x

so, 3x-x=66

2x=66

x=66÷2

x=33
