Answer 2

Given - Difference of two number = 25%

Smaller number = 30

Find - Greater number.

Solution - Let us assume the smaller number to be x and greater number to be y. As per the mentioned detail, the mathematical representation will be as follows -

y - x = 0.25y

Solving the formed equation -

y - 0.25y = x

As we know smaller number is 30, hence x will be 30.

0.75y = 30

y = 40

Therefore, the greater number is 40.
