Question

The difference between two whole numbers is 99. The ratio of the two numbers is 2 : 5. What
are the numbers?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

66 and 165

Step-by-step explanation:

let the common factor be x

so ratio is 5x:2x

ATP

5x-2x=99

3x=99

x=33

so the numbers are

33×5=165

33×2=66

cross check the answer

165 - 66= 99

Answer 2

let the ratios of the no. is 2x:5x

and the diffrence is 99

so,

according to the given conditions

5x-2x =99

3x =99

x=33

so the ratios of the no.s are

2×33:5×33

66:165

and the no. are 66 and 165
