Question

The product of two number 9375 the quotient. When the largest number is divided by the smallest number is 15. Find the sum of these number

Answer 1

Answer:

let the small number be x

the quotient when divided is 15.

so the two numbers are x and 15 x.

and their product is 9375

hence, x.15x=9375

15$x^{2}$ = 9375

$x^{2}$ = 9375/15 = 625

x = $\sqrt{625}$

x = 25.

sum of the numbers = x + 15x

= 25 + 15(25)

=25 + 375

= 400
