Answer:

$308$

Step-by-step explanation:

given

The difference between two numbers is 88

& the ratio of two numbers is 5:9

to find sum of two numbers

$let \: the \: number \: be \: 5x \: and \: 9x$

$difference \: = 9x - 5x \\ = > 88 = 4x \\ = > \frac{88}{4} = x \\ = > 22 = x$

$now \\ sum \: of \: two \: numbers \: are \: = 5x + 9x \\ = 14x \\ = 14 \times 22 \\ = 308$

$this \: is \: the \: required \: answer \: \\ \\ hope \: it \: will \: help \: you \:$
