Question

The product of two numbers is 9375 and the quotient, when the larger one is divided by the smaller, is 15. The sum of the numbers is:

Answer 1

The answer is 400.

Step by step solution:-

Let the numbers be x and y.
=> xy = 9375 and x/y = 15
=>xy/(x/y) = 9375/15 = 625
=>y^2 = 625
=> y = 25

Now, x/y = 15
=>x = 15y
=>x = 15x25 = 375

Hence, sum = 375 + 15 =400
