Question

The income ratio of a and b is 5:8, if income of a increases by 60000, then the new ratio is 5:4, find current income of

a.

Answer 1

(5x+6000)/8x=5/4

20x+240000=40x

x=12000

a=5x12000

a=60000

current income will be 60000+60000=120000

Answer 2

Answer:

Current income of a = 120000

Explanation:

Let the income = x

$\frac{5x+6000}{8x} =\frac{5}{4}$

$20x+240000=40x\\x = 12000\\a = 5*12000 = 60000$

Current income of a = 60000+60000

=120000

Multiplication:

To determine the sum of two or more numbers, mathematicians multiply the numbers. It is a basic mathematical procedure that is widely used in daily life. Multiplication is used when we need to mix groups of like sizes. Multiplication is a representation of the underlying idea of adding the same number repeatedly. The outcome of multiplying two or more numbers is referred to as the product of those numbers, and the factors are the quantities that are multiplied. Multiplying the numbers makes it simpler to add the same number repeatedly.
