Question

The price of refrigerator and a television set in the ratio 5:3 if the refrigerator costs rs 5500 more than the television set then the price of refrigerator is​

Answer 1

Answer:

13750

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price of the TV as T and for the refrigerator as R

so we have $\frac{5}{3}=\frac{5500+T}{T}$

so $5T=16500+3T$

and from here, $5T-3T=16500\\2T=16500\\T=8250$

$R=5500+T\\R=5500+8250\\R=13750$

Answer 2

Answer:

let the price of the TV as T and for the refrigerator as R

so we have \begin{gathered}\frac{5}{3}=\frac{5500+T}{T} \\\end{gathered}

5

=

T

5500+T

so 5T=16500+3T5T=16500+3T

and from here, \begin{gathered}5T-3T=16500\\2T=16500\\T=8250\end{gathered}

5T−3T=16500

2T=16500

T=8250

\begin{gathered}R=5500+T\\R=5500+8250\\R=13750\end{gathered}

R=5500+T

R=5500+8250

R=13750
