The ratio of two numbers is 2:5. If the sum is 84, then the bigger number is 60
Solution:
Given that ratio of two numbers is 2 : 5
Let the two numbers be 2x and 5x
Given that the sum of two numbers = 84
Thus we get,
2x + 5x = 84
7x = 84
x = 12
Thus the two numbers are:
2x = 2(12) = 24
5x = 5(12) = 60
The bigger number is 60
